Gladys Dunn Obituary
Faye was born on September 17, 1932 in Denver, Tennessee to the late Cohen B. DePriest, Sr. and Ruby G. Bogard DePriest. Her family moved to Clarksville in 1946. She graduated from Clarksville High School in 1951.
She was also preceded in death by her husband, Harry (PeeWee) Dunn, her older brother, Cohen Byrd DePriest, Jr., and her younger brother, T. Wayne DePriest.

(Debbie) Dunn II; her four grandchildren, Mesina Roberts, Jeremy (Kelly) Bullock, Danielle (Cameron) Mason, and Katie Dunn (Jackson Gobbell); eight great grandchildren; and two great great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Nancy V. DePriest, and seven nieces and nephews.
Anyone that knew Faye, knew she was diligent and hardworking. Faye worked in civil service at Ft. Campbell for 21 years. She also helped her husband in his car sales business. As a member of First Baptist Church Madison Street, she worked in children's Sunday School for over 20 years. For the past several years, she has been a member of First Baptist Church St. Bethlehem.
Faye fiercely loved her Savior, her family, and her friends. She was the sweetest and kindest lady, and she will be greatly missed.
