June 2023

Honey R. DUNN, of Ulysses, PA, reached her heavenly destination on June 6, 2023, in Greenville, NC.  Her family was beside her throughout her journey, holding her hands with heavy hearts but comforted knowing she would be with the Lord and reunited with family and friends who went before her.

Honey is survived by her husband, John.  They were married for 34 years and loved each other very much.  There wasn’t much that Honey did without John by her side.  They planned and worked hard for the Dunn and Rounds reunions and united those families in special times with memories made for years to come.

Honey was born in Harrison Valley, PA on July 30, 1933, and as the youngest of Walton and Myra (Thompson) Rounds’ seven children, she was everyone’s ”Honey” from that day on.  She graduated from Harrison Valley High School and went on to fulfill her dream of motherhood with what she considered her 5 greatest accomplishments.  Honey was a familiar face in the school cafeteria for many years taking great pride in serving food to all the children who passed through the lunch line over the years.  At the age of 50, Honey went back to school to get her nursing license and found great satisfaction working with Dr. Davis caring for the community.
