Theo Dunn was an active member of our church for 35 years until her death in 1993. She served as Clerk (now Secretary) of Church Council for 20 years, told and illustrated wonderful children’s stories for our children, and took on dozens of other volunteer tasks.
In 1988, the church instituted the Theo Dunn Service Award, with Theo as the first recipient. Each year, the award honors a volunteer who has given many years of service to our religious community.
