Kerry Dunn

Kerry Sue Dunn, 57, of Oak Ridge, Missouri, passed away peacefully at her home on November 21, 2007, after a long and courageous battle with Huntington's Disease.

Kerry "Sue" was born January 7, 1950, in Atlantic, Iowa, the daughter of Glen and Darlene (Tibben) Gustafson. She grew up in Adair, Iowa, graduating from high school in 1968. Kerry married Ken Carl in September of 1972. Their son Kristopher was born in 1975. Kerry moved to Davenport, Iowa, in 1982 where she met her soul mate, Randy Dunn. She married Randy in November 1983, welcoming his son, Jesse, into her life.

Randy and Kerry loved traveling. They lived in several different states before moving to her dream home in Jackson, MO, along with Randy's parents and brother, who all helped care for Kerry the last few years - always keeping her laughing and her blue eyes twinkling.

Kerry was employed in the accounting field for many years and enjoyed her work. She loved watching her children, nieces, and nephews grow. She and her extended family spent many vacations together. Kerry had a very fun and loving personality. It saddened her, that because of her illness, she was unable to be active in the lives of her precious four grandchildren.

Kerry is survived by her husband, Randy; 2 sons, Kris Carl (Robin Brandt) of Springfield, OR, and Jesse (Becky) Dunn of New Haven, MO; grandchildren Hailey and Brennan Carl and Peyton and Ian Dunn; brother-in-law, Brad (Ginger) Dunn of Scott City, MO; mother-in-law, Louise Dunn of Oak Ridge, MO; father, Glen Gustafson of Adair, IA; sisters, Cindy (Brad) Reinhardt of Davenport, IA, Cheryl Gustafson of Davenport, IA, and Nancy Slayton of Phoenix, AZ; brother, Delmar Gustafson of Adair, IA; nieces and nephews, Brian and Ramona and daughters, Cory, Wendy, and Jessica; special friends, Sue Gustafson and her loving caregiver, Amber Jones of Fruitland, MO.

She was preceded in death by her loving mother Darlene Gustafson, and father-in-law, Vic Dunn.
