Geneva E. Dunn

Geneva Evangeline Dunn, daughter of the late Berzelious and Hazel Peterson, was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on August 12, 1938. Geneva gained her angelic wings on May 22, 2022. Geneva married the love of her life, the late Anderson (Andy) Dunn, in 1961, and from that union, their son Courtney Dunn was born. For over 40 years, their marriage stood the test of time until Anderson Dunn departed this world in 2009. Her educational accomplishments include the Baltimore Public School System with graduation from Carver Vocational Technical High School and attendance at Coppin State College. With aspirations for having “nice things” and wanting an excellent quality of life, Geneva worked vigorously at a very young age to set the foundation of providing for her family. She held many jobs throughout her life, but she met her very best friend, Glynn Lindsay while working at Sinai Hospital. Glynn was like family, and their relationship prospered throughout a lifetime, cherishing many memories. In addition to Geneva’s work at Sinai, she worked at Crownsville State Hospital as a Counselor for people with disabilities and eventually retired from Pepco Energy but worked part-time for many years as a house manager for The Rich Croft organization until her health declined. For those close to Geneva, her love for cooking and shopping was only exceeded by her passion for taking care of others. For many years her home was also the home of many family members. Her culinary expertise is second to none, but her ability to make people feel loved, accepted, and cherished was a rare gift she used often and wisely. Geneva accepted Christ at an early age, and conducted herself accordingly, always brightening any room she came into and quickly becoming someone, anyone could relate to. Geneva will be loved and cherished forever by her son, Courtney, and her grandchildren: Courtney Jr., Courey, Enijah, and Cambrin, her great-grandchildren: Caiden, Amina, Zaiden, Kairon, Kourey, and Caleeb. Born into a large family, Geneva is predeceased by six sisters and one brother but her sister Ella Mickens, brother-in-law Wilson Thomas, and sister-in-law Mert Peterson, are family members that will continue to carry her torch of life along with a host of relatives and very dear friends.
