Rita S. "Wall" Dunham

Rita Sue Dunham, born August 29, 1946, in Walltown, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2026, in Mason, Ohio. A devoted wife, sister, aunt, and friend, Rita lived a life centered on faith, family, and quiet kindness. Her gentle presence and steadfast character left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

Rita spent her career at Procter and Gamble, where she was respected for her dedication and strong work ethic. Deeply committed to her Christian faith, she volunteered for decades at Lockland Christian Church, finding joy and purpose in serving others. She was an enthusiastic bowler and golfer, a loyal follower of University of Kentucky basketball and the Cincinnati Reds, and an accomplished puzzle solver.
