Gwendolyn N. Dunham, age 75, of Beebe, Arkansas passed away on February 20, 2026. She was born on March 20, 1950 in Searcy, Arkansas to Riley Ray Doyle and Avanell Condray.

Gwendolyn is preceded in death by her parents, sister Becky Russenburger, and brother Gary Doyle.

She is survived by her husband Stan Dunham; two children Tina Haile (Marty) and Scott Dunham (Jordan); grandchildren Chris Haile, Michael Haile (Jeanne), Riley Dunham (Emma), and Cooper Dunham; great-grandchildren Maddox Haile, Gracelyn Haile; and two siblings Cart Doyle and Sharon Cullum.

Gwen was a long-standing and faithful member of Briarwood Baptist Church, where she was warmly known throughout the congregation for her homemade pies that blessed countless gatherings and hearts. Her kitchen was her love language, and she found great joy in cooking for her family and bringing everyone together around the table.

She loved the thrill of finding a good bargain and was always prepared for any occasion – with cake mixes stocked for last-minute needs and enough canned and paper goods tucked away to weather the next winter storm. Caring for others came naturally to her. She was devoted caretaker to many, but her greatest joy was loving and tending to her “huns” – her precious grandchildren.

Her steady presence, generous spirit, and deep love for her family will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

A family-hosted memorial service will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026 at 10:00am at Briarwood Baptist Church located at 1872 Willie Ray Drive in Cabot.
