Sandra Mae Dunn

Sandra Fancher Dunn age 72 departed this earthly life on May 2, 2025, and entered her heavenly home, where she was reunited with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sandra was a devoted Christian who worked alongside her husband, Pastor James E. Dunn, for more than 30 years as a gifted children's and youth minister. Several of the children and young people who grew up under her ministry are today active ministers, pastors, teachers and music ministers.

Sandra was known as an elaborate costume and drama set designer which afforded her the ability to orchestrate memorable program designs for Bible school and youth camps. Many of Sandra’s former students now adults recall studying Jonah as kids and entering a room the size of a whale's belly. Sandra designed costumes for numerous drama productions for the Unicoi County High School Drama team. Some examples of her work include, Scrooge, Alice In Wonderland, Aladdin, Wizard of Oz, Peters Rabbit Tale, and several others. Additionally, she created costumes for ETSU's drama team.

Sandra was a dedicated and compassionate caregiver providing end of life care for her father, sister, and fourteen years as a caregiver for her mother until she passed in 2017. Sandra adored her children who are left with many memories of her to hold and cherish. Daughter, Kimberly Way (Kristopher); Son, Jimmy Dunn (Lori). Her grandchildren became her reason for living, Grandson, Tarren Jersey, Granddaughters, Lauren Way and Kristen Way.

Until they are all reunited in heaven, her husband, Reverend James E. Dunn, with whom she walked side by side inseparably for 53 years, will treasure her love and memories.

Sandra is preceded in death by her parents, James and Ruth Fancher, Sister, Eva Louise McGinnis.
