Mrs. Ann Terese Dunbar Duchesne, known to many as Mom, Nana, Grandma, sister, aunt, Godmother, Mrs. D, friend, neighbor, and many more fond names, valiantly battled Parkinson's Disease for over six years, facing the challenges it brought with grace, laughter, and prayer.
She was married to her husband, John W. "Jack" for over 50 years before he predeceased her. She was the mother to eight children – 6 daughters and 2 sons – was blessed with 18 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, and was a special aunt to over 50 nieces and nephews.
She is missed by so many!
