Mary Susie Dunham

Mary Susan Dunham was born in 1946 in Bremerton, WA to James Ralph and Henrietta Bradshaw. She is preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Joseph Robert Dunham, her parents, and her oldest brother Chuck Ralph.

Mary was a devoted Catholic, and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved birds, loved birds: watching them, reading about them, and figuring out their names. And she loved feeding them and watching them on the front porch with a cuppa coffee! She fell in love with quilting; cutting and laying out patterns, struggling with which colors fit with others – she was so happy to provide comfort and love, if you are lucky enough to have one of Mom’s quilts, please enjoy every snuggle. Sports were her escape, she loved College Basketball, March Madness was one of the best times of every year. It didn’t stop there; she could be caught watching PGA golf on a Sunday, every Notre Dame and Denver Bronco game, and the occasional English soccer match. Mary loved a good brunch with friends and family, she thrived when presented with the opportunity to share stories and conversation.

Mary (Susie to her Ralph family) is survived by her children Julie Feckner (husband Michael Feckner) and Luke Dunham and her grandchildren Jocelyn Guzman (husband Alex Guzman) and Joseph Redding. She is survived by 3 brothers: Tom Ralph (wife Patti), James Ralph (wife Mary), and Jack Norton (wife Carla).

Our Mother had kind and loving heart; her smile was infectious – she had the amazing gift to bring light to conversation. She will be missed by all who had the opportunity to share one of those conversations. We love you Mama, “Best Mom Ever”.
