Genia was a faithful member of Hensley Chapel Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, was involved with the youth and sang in the choir.  Genia began her career as a Special Education teacher in the Bell County School System and later transferred to Middlesboro to be closer to home.  She finished her career with the Whitley County Board of Education and retired this past June.

Genia devoted her life to taking care of others.  The children in her special education classes as well as her co-workers were no different.  She fed them. She clothed them. She prayed with them and for them. Genia instilled her faith in her daily walk of life.

Genia was the loving wife of JE Dunn for 42 years.  Genia and JE were high school sweethearts.  Their lives have revolved around one another, in addition to their children, grandchildren, their church and their family.  Their devotion and love for each other is a true example of a Godly marriage.
