Shiela M. Dunn

Dubuque

Shiela M. Dunn, 80, of Dubuque, Iowa, completed her earthly journey on June 30, 2022, at Stonehill Care Center, surrounded by her family. To honor Shiela, a Celebration of Life will be held from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 9, at 16375 Rustic Forest Trail in Dubuque. Family and friends are invited to join for food and fellowship in memory of Shiela.

Shiela was born Feb. 27, 1942, in Greeley, Iowa, to Donald and Donna (Duffy) Smock. Shiela graduated in 1960 from Strawberry Point High School, and married her high school sweetheart, Gerald (Jerry) Dunn, on July 1, 1961. The majority of Shiela’s working life was spent with Cedar Rapids Transfer & Storage, where she served in a vital capacity for 37 years. Shiela always valued a commitment to hard work, and served as an inspiration to everyone around her, especially her daughter and granddaughters. She had a great sense of humor, and a love of traveling with family and friends. But Shiela’s greatest joy would be found in time spent with her husband, her family, and her beloved dogs.

Those left behind to cherish Shiela’s memory include her loving husband of 61 years, Jerry Dunn, Dubuque, Iowa; her daughter, Jackie (Ian) Koontz, Dubuque, Iowa; her two granddaughters, Marisa Koontz, Baltimore, Md., and Brittany Koontz, Iowa City, Iowa; her sister, Suzanne (Rich) Langel; along with numerous extended family, friends and neighbors.

Shiela was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Deb Stoecker; and her nephews, Rod Cozad and Chad Cozad.

Shiela’s family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Stonehill Care Center, and Hospice of Dubuque, for all of their professional and compassionate care.
