Carol Jacob Dunn, 87, of Spartanburg, SC, died peacefully on February 13, 2020.
Born June 22, 1932 in Decatur, GA; daughter of Charles and Helen Jacob; widow of George Dunn, Jr., the love of her life and her beloved husband for 62 years.
Graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Agnes Scott College in 1954, met her husband, George, at a dance in Atlanta, and they lived happily in several cities in South Carolina before settling in Spartanburg in 1972.
A dynamic and vibrant woman, a top-performing realtor in Spartanburg for over 25 years, highly regarded for going above and beyond for her clients, hosting parties to introduce them to neighbors and helping each client feel a special sense of belonging to Spartanburg.
Carol’s passion was her family, her friends, and her church; an empathetic listener with a kind and encouraging nature; nurtured and promoted everything in life with an enthusiasm that all who knew her would instantly recognize.
Known as “Memommy” to her 12 grandchildren, she and Papa created deep, personal relationships with each grandchild through adventurous trips and family reunions to Pawleys Island every year. Loved to entertain her dear friends in Spartanburg and Grandfather Mountain.
As an active member of both First Presbyterian in Spartanburg and Wee Kirk in Linville, NC, her faith and her church family brought joy to her life.
They believed and succeeded in giving their three children both roots and wings; survived by her son, Charles William Dunn (Laura) and children, Charlie (Emily), Annie, Madeline, and Isabelle Dunn; daughter, Carol Ann Dunn Anderson (Steve) and children Knox, Elizabeth, Catherine, and George Anderson; and Mary Helen Dunn Wade (Gregg) and children, Marshall (Jing), Emily, Sarah and Ashley Wade; and sisters, Irene Jacob Sturgia and Ann Jacob Toms.
