After graduating from Harding High School and attending Miami University of Ohio, she was a life long resident of Warren which she oft referred to as “the garden spot of the world”. After World War II she started married life living at the South View Apartments along with several other young couples who would become her lifelong friends. She raised a family and was active in the community. Mrs. Dunwoody was a 50 year member of the women’s auxiliary of Trumbull Memorial Hospital and also was a volunteer for Planned Parenthood.
