He was born on April 10, 1947, in California, to Bill M. Dunham and Garnet Miller Dunham. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Tim Dunham and brother, Larry Dunham. Following graduation from high school, he and a carload of friends took a whirlwind road trip across America in his new, red, 1964 Mustang and the story of their adventures was featured in the local newspaper in Sandpoint, Idaho. As a high school senior, he was voted most courteous and had the honor of escorting the prom queen. Always a hard worker, he worked through high school at a gas station and upon graduation, joined the Air Force and made it his career for 21 years, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. He worked in the intelligence department and was stationed at many locations, making a lot of lifelong friends during his extended career. After retirement, he worked at Nissan in Decherd, and at Arnold Air Force Base before settling in Washington State.  Always the adventurer, he continued to travel and enjoyed visits to many states as well as numerous countries overseas. He was a 15-year cancer survivor. In addition to traveling, he enjoyed entertaining family, reading, concerts, listening to Kenny G. and Beach Boys’ music and going to movies. A true family man, he worked two jobs for several years while supporting his combined family of eight children.

Her family had a long association with both coal and lumber. Pat’s great-grandfather, originally from Shelbyville, Tennessee, moved to Kentucky to begin a pencil manufacturing business. Her father, Samuel Houston McDowell had a long career in the lumber industry. Pat’s journey to Tennessee included periods in Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky again, North Carolina, and finally Tennessee.

After graduating from Jefferson High School in Roanoke, Virginia, Pat attended Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and then the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. She and Jerry Smith were married in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 30, 1963, and, after just missing a tornado on their wedding day, lived in Louisville, Kentucky, and later in Durham, North Carolina, while Jerry completed graduate work. Pat’s career included Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Duke Divinity School, the Deans of Students Office, and the School of Theology at the University of the South. She worked for School of Theology Deans from Terry Holmes through Guy Lytle. Her greatest life work, however, was her contribution to her family. Successively, she was the mother of Samuel McDowell (Mac), Miriam Ella, and then her grandchildren Alicia Lynn, Amber Leigh and Samuel Lafayette (Sam). The final joy of her life included her grandchildren, Miles and June and her great-granddaughter, Aubri Ella. Pat was a quiet but devoted Christian who refused to believe anything but the best of all she knew and was the high priestess of her universal sacrament of a ready, broad and happy smile. Her favorite color was yellow. She loved roses, sunflowers and goldfinches. She collected crosses and angels. Her favorite hymn was “Victory in Jesus,” and she believed every word of that hymn. It delighted her to be in church among her old and dear friends. Praise God for her life, her faithful Christian witness, her love of her family and now her victory in Jesus. She is survived by her husband Jerry; sons, Mac (Sharon) and Sam (Sarah); daughters, Alicia and Amber; grandchildren, Miles Patrick and June Kinner; great-granddaughters, Aubri Ella Smith and Zosia Kinner; and first cousin, Mark (Debbie) Engle.
