Martha Pauline Dunaway, age 72, of Morehead, went home to be with her Lord, Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at St. Claire HealthCare in Morehead after a courageous battle with Covid.

She was born August 15, 1949, in Lewis County, and was the daughter of the late Archie and Dorathy Dunaway.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved son, Emmanuel White; a granddaughter, Arianna White; a daughter-in-law, Cathy White; a sister, Ruby Kinder, whom she loved unconditionally; and a brother, James Dunaway.

She is survived by her children, Rebekah (Dan) Stupakewicz, Mark (Suzi) White, Gavin White, and Serenity “Summer” (Kyle) Bradley; her brothers and sisters, Agnes McAdams, Joe Dunaway, Beulah Gilbert, and Jack Stevens; seven grandchildren, Ben Stupakewicz, Ethan Stupakewicz, Chloe White, Daniel White, Zoey Bradley, Jase Bradley, and Noah Bradley; her “adopted” kids, Merry-Jo McClurg Cloud, Dezeray Powell, Jonathan Mocabee and Erin Mocabee; and several nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.
