Jacqualine Jane Dunham, age 91, of Wichita, Kansas, passed away on June 29, 2025 surrounded by love and family. She was born in Liberal, Kansas to James Maynard and Lula May (Craver) Woodson on June 12, 1934.

Jacqualine grew up in Copeland, Kansas and graduated from Copeland High School, Valedictorian of the Class of 1952.  She married Dwight (Jack) Dunham on July 15, 1962 in Liberal, KS. They initially made their home in Copeland before moving to Hays, Kansas where the couple both earned their Master's degree from Fort Hays State University. In 1969 they moved to Kismet, Kansas with their oldest daughter so Jack could start a full-time position as an industrial arts teacher at Southwestern Heights High School. Jacqualine soon had the job she always wanted as a homemaker with 4 children.  After outgrowing the house in Kismet, the family moved to Plains, Kansas in 1975.  Jack and Jacqualine lived in Plains until recently, when they moved to Wichita to live with their daughter, Joell.

Jacqualine was a member of the Copeland Christian Church and the Dodge City Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) where she organized the participation of youth in the Junior American Citizen (JAC) poster, stamp, and essay contest. Jacqualine spent many years substitute teaching and attending her children's activities.  She always enjoyed shopping, cooking, crocheting, putting together jig-saw puzzles, researching genealogy, tending a large garden and spending time with family.
