Anita Lyn Wilkinson Dunn

Anita Lyn Wilkinson Dunn, 59, of Orange, Texas, died on Tuesday, November 27, 2018, at Harbor Hospice, in Beaumont, Texas. Lyn battled cancer with courage and strength; she fought the good fight to the very end. Her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ took her home and healed her permanently.

Lyn grew up in Orange, graduated from Little Cypress Mauriceville High School and attended Texas A&M University in College Station. Lyn worked for many years at Joann’s Fabrics. Lyn had a great talent as a seamstress and taught sewing classes at Joann’s. Lyn always had two or three projects in the works until the very end. Lyn also enjoyed cooking and we will all miss her Monster cookies. Lyn will be affectionately remembered as a loving mom, mamaw, daughter, sister, and friend.

Lyn was preceded in death by her father, Marvin M. Wilkinson.
