Martha Ann Ziglar Dunn

November 6, 2018

Martha Ann Ziglar Dunn, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, cousin and friend, passed away on November 2, 2018, at age 85.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Foster and Euna Ziglar; sister, Mandie Ziglar; and husband, Wyman Dunn.

She is survived by her son, Larry Dunn (Wanda) of Troy, Alabama; daughter, Elaine Dunn Ball (Robbie) of Cantonment; grandchildren, Mark Dunn, Rachel Dunn, Heather Ball, Charlie Ball (Robin); great-grandchildren, Belle Fehr, Tyler Dunn, Jacob Dunn, Noah Dunn; and so many wonderful cousins.

Martha Ann was born in Ozark, AL, on February 3, 1933. Raised as an only child in the country, she grew up loving her cousins, cats and dogs. She married Wyman at age 17 and celebrated 62 years together before he passed away in 2013. They moved to Pensacola, FL in 1954 when Wyman started working at Chemstrand. Although she had several jobs in the early years, her job as mother was most important. Later she worked at Gerald Newman State Farm Agency for 30 years, eventually becoming the office manager. Martha Ann loved to help people and get to know them in the process. She had a great love for her Savior and her church family. She was a member of Hillcrest Baptist Church for over 60 years and was an active servant for most of those years. Martha Ann had an intense love for animals, rescuing many that were in her path and loving all that she saw. She loved nothing more than taking a trip and loading up as many family members as could go. Martha Ann was always ready for a party and happy to host or help, there was always room at her table for one more chair. Martha Ann loved her family fiercely and will be dearly missed.

A Celebration of Life Service at Faith Chapel North was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

Burial will be at Sandfield Cemetery in Troy, AL.

In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to Hillcrest Baptist Church, the Sandfield Cemetery Fund or the Alzheimer’s Association.

We are grateful to Regency Hospice and Sabal House Assisted Living Facility for their tender care of Martha Ann.

Faith Chapel North of Cantonment is in charge of arrangements.

    Sorry to hear of your loss of this loved one. I am kin to the family through my grandmother, Lula Elizabeth Dunn Graddy. Sorry to say that I didn’t know Mrs. Dunn but as a very young person did know her husband.
    The family had a sawmill near Arlington GA way back when, cutting cross ties timbers for the railroad.
    She will surely be missed as are my grandparents and parents.
