Kathleen Lunsford Dunne

Kathleen Ribble Lunsford Dunne, died February 21, 2019 in Warrenton, Virginia. A native of Petersburg, VA, she was born on August 5, 1927 to Irving Claiborne Lunsford and Kathleen Anderson Ribble Lunsford at their home on Berkley Avenue. A lover of all creatures great and small, Mrs. Dunne was most devoted to horses and was an avid admirer of “The Sport of Kings”, Thoroughbred horse racing. Her happiest days were spent watching several of her own Thoroughbreds race in Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia and doting on them when they returned home to Aulerton, the home that she and her husband, “Gerry” shared for over 53 years. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Gerald John Dunne, of Midland, VA; daughter, Kathleen Anderson Ribble Dunne Watson, of Dunnsville, VA; granddaughter, Kristen Watson Henshaw; great-grandchildren, Nate and Isabell Henshaw, all of Richmond, VA; nephew, Irving C. Lunsford III, of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL; niece, Barbara L. Groves, of Flower Mound, TX; and several beloved cousins. She was predeceased by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Irving C. Lunsford and her brother, Irving C. Lunsford, Jr. She was also predeceased by many four-legged friends of all sizes, which she loved dearly.
