Carolyn Dunbar Obituary

Carolyn Sue Dunbar, 81, passed away on March 13, 2023 at the Johnson City Medical Center surrounded by her family after a brief illness. Carolyn grew up in Limestone and later resided in Johnson City. She was a graduate of Washington College Academy and Steed College.

She was the daughter of the late Moody and Edith Dunbar of Limestone. She is survived by her older brother, Howard Dunbar, wife Charlotte; her younger brother Stanley Dunbar, wife Christy; nieces Dawn Young, husband Ronnie, Melanie Dunbar, Edith Mancuso, husband Caleb, Hannah Dunbar, and Julie Dunbar; nephews Warren Dunbar, wife Beth, and Ryan Dunbar; grand-nieces Melissa Young, Wendi Minutolo, husband Chris, and Katye Dunbar; grand-nephew Jake Dunbar; and great-grand niece and nephews Everett, Peyton and Jasper Minutolo.

Carolyn followed in the footsteps of her father living a very generous and fulfilling life of love and laughter. She had a great sense of humor and told the best stories. She was always willing to help anyone in need. She was a lifelong Methodist and belongs to Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. Carolyn was involved her whole life with Moody Dunbar, Inc. as employee, owner and board director. She was a great advocate for the company. She loved all the employees and had many friends there. She made many fond memories with friends and family traveling throughout the United States and abroad. She was a proud member of AA for over 32 years. While at Princeton Assisted Living, she made many friends and supported her associates there. She will be missed by her friends and family greatly.

The Family wishes to thank all the staff at Princeton Assisted Living and special thanks to caregiver, Sherry Mclaughlin. The family wants to thank the Critical Care unit at Johnson City Medical Center for the excellent care given to Carolyn.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Carolyn from Waterbrooke. Also my mother, Jessie Humphrey Broyles used to work in the cafeteria at the pepper plant in Limestone. May God provide the peace and comfort needed by your family in the coming days and weeks.
