Elizabeth Dunlap
Elizabeth was husband to the late Rev. Grant Dunlap, mother to Marshall and Dale,
grandmother to Danny, Molly, Libby, Larry and Ross, Aunt Libby to many nieces and
nephews, secretary to Bob Brown, Herb Hauser, and Jim Bristah, and friend to many in
this Annual Conference. While she spoke most often ofthese relationships to others, she
was one of a kind, and proudest of having served faithfully, wherever she had
opportunity. She will be missed.

I many friends from all over the state an
