Donna Sue Dunlop (nee Eash), 54; flight attendant, world traveler, global citizen; passed away peacefully after a battle with pancreatic cancer, at home in Chicago. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Donna was adopted at age three by an American couple and raised in Oklahoma. In high school she was an avid soccer player. She graduated from Bixby High School and attended college briefly. At the age of 19, she embarked upon a long career as a flight attendant with United Airlines. It was there that she met the man she would marry. Although he was older than Donna, the couple was perfectly matched for each other. Donna was extremely organized, and an excellent planner and life partner. They lived in Chicago, Seattle, Hong Kong, and Kas, Turkey, where they built a beautiful home called "Villa Donna". They recently returned to Chicago for medical care. Donna had friends all around the world. She was always interested in the next place to travel and had a passion for food, particularly Chicago's restaurant offerings. She played poker and in 2009 she spent time at a yoga ashram in India. Recently, she studied Spanish. Beloved wife of 31 years to Clayton Bryon Dunlop. Loving daughter of Leo Deril Eash and Royce Lee Eash (nee Gray) of Bixby, OK. Sister of Darin "Chip" Michael (Shelly Ann) Eash of Texas. The family has chosen private cremation, and celebrations of Donna's life are likely to occur in Turkey and Hong Kong. This coming Thanksgiving a celebration of life will occur in Oklahoma. Arrangements by Inclusive Funeral Care, 773-318-1305 or www.InclusiveFuneralCare.com.
