Daniela Dunn

Daniela Lucia Dunn, a devout Christian and the loving and devoted wife, of Harrison David Dunn, joined her Lord on Oct. 27, 2016. Daniela was born in Bradford, England, on Aug. 28, 1952, to Walter and Francesca Bordonaro Kepinski, both of whom preceded her in death. Daniela immigrated to the United States with her young son in 1977. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States and was, by choice, a sincere and zealous American patriot. Daniela and David spent their first 20 years together in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where together, they built from the ground up, a thriving and successful industrial construction company. They retired in 2011 and moved to Ooltewah. Daniela was a remarkable homemaker. Next to her devotion to God and her family, Daniela's passions were decorating, superb Italian cooking, sewing, embroidery, gardening and love for children and animals. In addition to David, Daniela is survived by her son, Frank Satterwhite, of Cumming, Ga., her sister, Stephanie Kepinska, of Roswell, Ga.; granddaughters, Brittany and Sage Sattterwhite, of Cumming, Ga.; her adoring step daughters, Kristi (Brice) Long, of Charleston, S.C., Michele (Aaron) Roach, of Chattanooga; and step grandson, Austin Roach, of Nashville. A memorial service in celebration of Daniela's life was held at 2 p.m. Sunday, at Hamilton Memorial Gardens Chapel of Devotion Mausoleum in Hixson with Dr. David Kidd officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Saint Jude Children's Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee or the American Cancer Society.
