Karoline Marie Dunn (nee Fahlenkamp), 92, of Masonic Village Elizabethtown, PA, formerly of Havertown, PA, passed away February 23, 2020 surrounded by her loving family.

Karoline was born in Bremen, Germany in October 1927. She was the daughter of the late Diedrich and Marie Fahlenkamp (nee Damm) and lived in Nordenham Germany. After WWII, Karoline immigrated from Germany in March 1955 to Philadelphia, PA where she lived with her beloved sister, Herta Przygodzinski (nee Fahlenkamp), wife of the late Edward Przygodzinski.

She was the beloved wife of the late David Andrew Dunn, with whom she shared 58 years; devoted mother of son, Andrew Diedrich Dunn, husband of Maria F. Dunn (nee Lubragge) and her daughter Susan Marie DiGironimo (nee Dunn), wife of Marcello DiGironimo; and grandmother of David and Rebecca Dunn, Rosalinda and Francesco DiGironimo, and Kristin Marcozzi.

Karoline and David married on July 12, 1958 at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church in Ardmore Pennsylvania. They raised their two children in Havertown, PA. Karoline worked as an early childhood education teacher and used her artistic talents making dolls for Little Souls of Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Since David’s passing Karoline spent her time enjoying her family, knitting, and counting her blessings.

Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Masonic Village at Elizabethtown for the Compassionate Care Fund, 1 Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022

Services have been entrusted to the Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA 17543

Sorry to see that Karoline passed away. Got to visit with her several times since she 
moved to personal care. Always had a smile on her face. The Dunns were very nice
neighbors and I miss seeing both of them. Jim Silvius

I just saw this obituary in the Lancaster Newspaper and recognized your mother, remembering your parents from over 45 years ago when I was a newly ordained priest at St. Mary’s, Ardmore.  I just recall their kindness and the support they gave me when I was ordained in January 1975 at St. Mary’s.  Five years ago I retired from full-time ministry and two years ago moved to the Ephrata area.  I hold your mother in my memory and in prayer.
Grace and peace,  (The Rev.) Mark Scheneman
