So sad to hear of Mrs. Dunlap's passing. She was one of my favorite high school teachers. She sparked my interest in science and is probably one of the main reasons I'm a Forensic DNA Analyst to this day. Rest in peace Mrs. Dunlap. The passion you demonstrated in educating your students will continue to be felt for years to come.

What an incredible teacher at Carver Middle School in Due West! Crystal had a giving heart and loved all her students. She challenged them to be the best version of themselves. She was also a great friend during our teaching careers at Carver. Prayers for Steve and the family.

Mrs Dunlap was my favorite high school teacher at AHS in 86 and 87. Thanks for a great foundation. So sorry for your loss.

We still remember you as Miss Bonds.

I remember how happy we all were when you married Coach Dunlap.

That was a long time ago. You were barely 20. We were barely 10. ...Helping all of middle schoolers learn science and life.

Thank you. Many of us have taken that forward into our lives.

Rest in peace.
