Our Dear "Nanu" Pansy Alexander Dunaway passed away from this life but woke in heaven with her Savior, Jesus Christ, in her home, Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at the age of 81. She was an amazing wife to Winfred Dunaway for 62 years, a devoted mother to Penny Kerr and the very best grandmother to Jenson, Jayden and Grace Kerr.
Pansy was born July 20, 1943, to Lester and Henri Alexander of Jayess, Mississippi. In 1963 she and her husband moved to Baton Rouge LA with a newborn and made a comfortable life for over 35 years between there and Denham Springs LA.
Mrs. Dunaway was an avid flower and plant enthusiast with a green thumb to grow just about anything. She loved a big vegetable garden and like her father, she shared much of what she and Winfred grew. Pansy was an incredible southern dish cook and enjoyed bringing meals to friends and family, sharing her dishes at church fellowships and entertaining many in her home.
Pansy grew up in a large family and was always the "life of any party." She loved to travel and enjoyed cruising every chance she had. She relished Jigsaw Puzzles, reading her Bible Daily on the porch, and fancied a good book with a sweet love story ending. She was a fierce scrabble player and played a mean game of Wheel of Fortune. She was always such a good sport and was usually up for trying just about anything including a ride in a speedboat with the Grandkids or Bunco with friends. Pansy had a fulfilling career in the insurance field and worked for the Cutler Agency in Denham Springs for many years until her retirement in 2000. She and Winfred were blessed to retire and move back to "The Country" in 2001 and have delighted in being "home" for over 23 years.
Mrs. Dunaway is survived by husband Winfred, Daughter Penny, Son-in-Law Larry Kerr, Grandson Jenson Kerr and wife Aerial, Granddaughters Jayden and Grace Kerr, Sisters, Gloria Rayborn, Linda Rosso (Sam), Judy Gilchrist (Ramsey), and Sally Presnell (Ben). She is preceded in death by her parents, a sister Kay Alexander, two brothers Douglas and Clancy "Pete" Alexander and Brother-in-Law Billy Rayborn.
