Betty Hussey Dunlap, of Robbins NC, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday November 25, 2021 at the age of 87.
She was born February 2, 1934 to the late James Bertie and Rosa Margaret Hussey of Seagrove, NC. Betty and Mack Lee Dunlap were married for 37 years, until his passing in 1987. A faithful servant to her heavenly Father, loving homemaker and talented seamstress, Betty was cherished throughout the community for her humility, selfless care for others, and abiding friendships. She showered each grandchild with love and a treasured quilt upon their graduations and marriages. Through her sewing and quilting, she contributed to so many celebrations of births, proms, and weddings, becoming an extended part of each of those families. She was an avid reader, loved her garden and flowers, and cared deeply for her fur-babies. Among her most cherished memories was the 85th birthday celebration, decorated with her many beautiful quilts on display, where she was joined by a large gathering of family and friends from the church and community.
Betty is survived by her beloved sister, Shirley Jarrell of Randleman NC, son Johnny Dunlap (Pam) and daughters Marilynn Youngs (Andrew), Margaret Garner and Amy Garner (Tony). She loved spending time with her family of thirteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Mack, oldest son Roger, grandson Trapper, brothers Garland, Archie, Sherman, Bobby and Jerry Hussey and sister Carolyn Webb.
Visitation will begin at 1:00 PM at Needham’s Grove Baptist Church, Seagrove NC on Saturday November 27, 2021 followed immediately by the Memorial Service at 2:00 PM, officiated by Reverend D J Harry and Reverend Arnold Comer. The burial service will then follow at Brown’s Chapel Church, Robbins NC.
In keeping with her generous giving spirit, the family requests donations, in lieu of flowers, made in her memory to the Cemetery Fund at either of the churches or the charity of your choice.
Kennedy Funeral Home is honored to serve the Dunlap family.
