DOROTHY DUNN Obituary
Dorothy McNeill Dunn (Dot) passed away on July 25, 2020. Dot, a true southern lady, was born in Tallahassee, Florida on September 28, 1924, the third of five children of Louise Medina Proctor McNeill and Malcolm Collins McNeill, Sr.
Dot is preceded in death by her father, Malcolm; her mother, Louise; her husband, Wallace; her sisters, Mary Alice M. Tolle and Theresa M. Turner; and her brother, Malcolm C. McNeill, Jr. Dot is survived by her brother, Dane A. McNeill (Pat); her two children, Deborah Anne Dunn and Wallace Dunn II (Kathy); her three grandchildren, Erin D. Snyder (Adam), Bryan M. Dunn (Julia) and Casey D. Dunn (Scarlet); her six great grandchildren and so many other family members all of whom she loved dearly.
Dot was a graduate of Leon High School in Tallahassee, Fl. She later graduated from Emory University School of Nursing in Atlanta, GA. In addition to being a Registered Nurse, Dot later became a Real Estate Agent and Broker in Florida, a Licensed Private Pilot and a Licensed Ship Captain.
Dot moved with her husband and children to Ocala, Florida in the early 1950's. In 1976, she moved from Ocala to Dunnellon to a new home that they built on the Rainbow River, which she loved.
Dot was a very active member of the United Methodist Church in Ocala and Dunnellon, FL, the Ocala Woman's Club and the City of Dunnellon where she attended regular monthly city council meetings and City council workshops. Dot also volunteered for many years at Rainbow Springs State Park.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff and doctors of TimberRidge Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and the wonderful caregivers of CareTime for their service and companionship to Dot over the past months.
The family wishes to have a Friends and Family Celebration of Life at a later date. Roberts Funeral Home of Dunnellon will be handling all arrangements. In lieu of flowers please consider a gift to Dot's favorite charity, the Florida United Methodist Children's Home (website:fumch.org) or to your favorite charity.
