Waynne was born in Richmond, Virginia, was a 1955 graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School and attended Longwood College where she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority. She created many life-long friendships during her school years; adding many other treasured friends along the way through her volunteer, community and tennis related activities. She and Pete were at every game or swim meet that their children participated in, cheering for the teams and working on the sidelines. She was a true friend and a supportive parent. Known for her poems and scavenger hunt rhymes to celebrate birthdays and holidays, her wit was quick, her smile adoring and her laugh infectious. Interment will be private.

Waynne and Pete Dunbar were instrumental in the initial design and establishment of the school and remained contributors long after their two children and three grandchildren graduated.
