Mary Virginia Dunn

Mary Virginia Dunn, born on August 28, 1945, in San Antonio, Texas, passed away peacefully on July 10, 2025, in New Braunfels, Texas, at the age of 79.

We wanted to share some cherished memories of our beloved Mary. She graduated high school in San Antonio, Texas, at Sam Houston High back in 1963.

Mary was also a beacon of strength and compassion, serving as a caregiver to her grandmother, mother, and husband before they passed.

Mary’s dedication extended beyond her family. She was the office manager and bookkeeper for the family business at Radiator Service Co and Gene’s Brake and Alignment Service, where her hard work and meticulous attention to detail were evident every day.

In her early years, she and her family loved to go fishing in the surf and on a boat. Her hobbies later, included Bowling for many years where she made so many loving friends. She also enjoyed creating diamond art painting. She was truly loved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Mary’s life was a testament to love, resilience, and devotion. Her memory will continue to inspire and live on in our hearts.
