Ruth Ann Dunn, age 63, passed away in her home surrounded by loved ones after a courageous fight against cancer. Ruth was born on March 10th, 1951 in Bakersfield, CA to Brooks and Mattie Schmidt.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 34 years, Kenneth Dunn.
She is survived by two of her four siblings, her three daughters, Kimberley Nores, Lisa Kulczewki, and Lora Hernandez and seven grandchildren. She is also survived by her partner of eight years, Alan Della Maggiore.
Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, and the love and prayers of family, friends and many supporters carried her through 20 months of grueling chemotherapy.
