Judith “Judy” Lynn Dunsmore, 70, of Knightstown, passed away Monday, April 22, 2019 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA following a brief but hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born on July 1, 1948 in Huntington, Indiana, the daughter of the late Robert F. and Mary Jane Feigel.
A graduate of Huntington High School, where she was Valedictorian, Judy attended Ball State University where she studied English Literature. She went on to pursue her passion for teaching by earning a Master’s in Education, also from Ball State University. She taught for over 30 years at New Castle High School, Knightstown High School, and the Culver Girls’ Academy. Teaching was her calling, and she cherished each day in the classroom.

Edward Dunsmore; two daughters: Jessica Dunsmore Turco (husband Scott Turco) of Winchester, MA, Sarah Hamilton-Dunsmore (wife Megan Hamilton-Dunsmore) of Durham, NC; three grandchildren: Edward Dunsmore Turco, Thomas Vincent Turco, and Anna Garden Turco, all of Winchester MA; the excited anticipation of future grandchildren who will be blessed with stories of her.
