Tommie Dunmire Obituary

On November 18, 2021 Tommie Lynn Dunmire, 54, left all of her pain behind and passed over to reunite with her beloved Mother, Bernadine, and Son, Matthew who predeceased her. Born in Portsmouth, she grew up in Norfolk and attended Norview High School. After spending several years of her adult life in various locations around the country, she returned to the Tidewater region. She was formerly employed at H. H. Hunt Homes, responsible for procuring construction permits. She leaves behind to keep her memory her Father, Thomas Dunmire (Janet); her Brother, Daniel Dunmire; Sisters, Sandra Pollock (Tom) and Kristen Burford (Jeremiah); Nephews, Mitchell, Bennett, Ayden, Hunter, and Konrad; Nieces, Julie, Madison, and Noelle; her longtime friend, Theresa James; and former longtime companion Ray Shackelford. There will be a private family Memorial gathering at a later date. Claytor Rollins Funeral Home is handling arrangements. May her Soul Rest In Peace.

It has already been 3 years since you left. We know you lived. You loved. You mattered. We grieve, not only for your passing, we grieve about all of the things that led up to it. You will always be remembered.

"When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost."
Frederick Buechner - Whistling in the Dark, 1988.

I'm remembering you this Mother's Day. I know the last one was the most miserable one in 31 years because Matthew was not here for that one, but I know you now can celebrate this day in Heaven, for the first time, with Matthew and your Beautiful Mother. Happy Mother's Day.

Just heard Tuesday's gone and that song always reminds me of us listening to that song over and over again and being our favorite song. Every time I hear it, it brings back memories of
our friendship :)
