Obituary of Sandra H Dunn

Sandra Helen Dunn (75) passed away last Saturday, March 5th, in her family home on West Andrews Avenue built by her grandfather over a century ago. Sandy was born August 1946, to her beloved parents Alma and John “Jack” Dunn. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Sigrid and Theodore Hansen, John and Ina Dunn, her cousins Norman Hansen, Ronnie Hansen, and G. Loy Ehlers Jr., and her beloved parents. She is survived by her cousins, Helen Ehlers (nee Hansen) of Cape May, Carol Simons (nee Mitchell) of Pitman, Delores Fitzgerald (nee Hansen) of Fairhaven, MA as well as her second cousins Devon Simons, Eric Hansen, Susan Zahka, G. Loy Ehlers III (Godson) and his wife Melissa, and their daughter (Sandy’s Goddaughter), Elsa Ehlers. Sandy graduated from Wildwood High School in 1964 and Glassboro State College in 1968. Shortly thereafter, she gained employment at Margaret Mace, where she taught second grade for 33 years until her retirement. “Miss Dunn'' was a celebrated, award winning, and beloved teacher who enriched the lives of her pupils in the classroom and beyond. Sandy was a committed philanthropist who supported a myriad of charities during her life and to whom she left a lasting legacy in death. She was an active member of the North Wildwood United Methodist Church and the Wildwood Civic Club. Sandy and her father Jack were devout Eagles fans, and in victory or defeat, those Sundays were always well spent. Sandy and her mother Alma enjoyed an exceptional friendship which impacted and enriched everyone around, especially a certain four-legged companion, Ms. Fancy. In recent years she had come to perfect the art of ‘porch parties', fine-tuning the tradition alongside her friends and neighbors whenever possible. Sandy’s positive influence and singular charm will be greatly missed by her family, her friends, and the Wildwood community she so passionately supported and loved with her whole heart. A visitation will take place at Ingersoll-Greenwood Funeral Home, 1201 Central Ave., North Wildwood, NJ at 10:00 AM on Friday, March 11, 2022 followed by memorial and graveside services. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in her memory be made to the North Wildwood United Methodist Church, 2nd & Central Aves., North Wildwood, NJ 08260.
