Dorothy D. Runyon

Dorothy D. Runyon 91, of Columbus, Ohio went home to the Lord on March 14, 2025. She was born February 1, 1934 to Robert G. and Fern (Hunt) Davis. She was from Clintwood, VA.

In June of 1956, a handsome young Airman stationed at Lockbourne AFB boarded a Greyhound bus. He saw a woman with a beautiful smile and he had to meet her. Six weeks later, on the fourth time they saw each other, they were wed. This began a wonderful love story. They were just shy of their 64th anniversary when her Air-Man was called home.

Dorothy lived a life full of so much love and laughter. She was always there for us, no matter what. When you think of our mother, always remember that beautiful smile, big laugh, and what a great cook she was. She would like that.

She is proceeded in death by her beloved Gene Runyon, a brother, a sister and a granddaughter Monica.

Survived by sister Elizabeth of Michigan, sons Mike (Kathy), H. Preston; daughter Rita (David); granddaughters Sandy (Vic), Courtney (Chris), Juliana; grandson Manning; several great and one great-great grandchild; Sister of her heart Camella Runyon and numerous nieces and nephews.

There is no formal funeral plan. Her cremated remains will be returned to the beautiful hills of Virginia. Her soul is with God, please wish her a safe journey.

We love and miss you so much Mom!
