Roxann, as she preferred to be called, was born July 17, 1953, at the Navy Dispensary at the Sea Plane Base in Oak Harbor, the first child of Lawrence "Wess" Dunn and Reta M. Elwess. Her childhood was full of medical challenges and on June 13, 1967, she had open heart surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center to correct a congenital heart defect. She attended Showalter Elementary School and Tyee High School in SeaTac. In July 1969, Roxann's family moved back to Oak Harbor. She graduated from Oak Harbor High School June 7, 1971, and was a four-year Seminary student. Later, she attended the Salt Lake City College of Dental Assistants. After graduation on May 31, 1972, she worked for Daniel Estlery in Oak Harbor for the next two years. Roxann met her future husband Jim Terry (AKA Tim Clarke), an enlisted man at NAS Whidbey Island, at a church picnic at Deception Pass Park in the summer 1972. He proposed to her at Cap Sante Park in Anacortes on Sept. 26, 1973. They were married in California in the Oakland Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Feb. 23, 1974. They would have been married 40 years next month. To them were born four children Daniel Lyall Clarke (1974), Amanda Catherine Clarke (1977), Anna Elizabeth Terry (1978) and Julia Mae Clarke (1990). Two daughters, Amanda Catherine and Julia Mae died at birth. Married life took Roxann to Provo, UT (1975-1978); Great Lakes and Waukegan, IL (1979-1985); and back to Oak Harbor in 1985. Roxann was proud of her 14 years as a Seminary teacher and loved the scriptures. One of her favorite sayings was "If you’re too busy to read the scriptures, then you're just too busy." In 1991, Roxann’s husband legally changed his name from Timothy Clarke to James Terry (his birth name). Following his lead, she changed her last name to the hyphenated Dunn-Terry to honor her father who had no sons. Roxann was the Program Coordinator for the Oak Harbor Senior Center, where she has worked since 1989. She is also a past vice president of the Washington State Association of Senior Centers, 2000-2001. Roxann's favorite things include her children Danny Clarke and Beth Terry and granddaughter Valerie (the Princess), friends, church, arts and crafts of almost every kind, reading, writing, concerts, theater, travel (she was especially fond or Hawaii, New England and Nova Scotia), “mooses”, crab fest cruises and chocolate. Roxann is survived by her husband James Terry, son Daniel Clarke and daughter-in-law Stephanie Clarke, daughter Anna "Beth" Terry, Sister Myrna Jensen (Mrs. Bob Jensen), Weslene Mulks (Mrs. Mike Mulks), Michele Hill (Mrs. Gary Hill), a granddaughter Valerie Gerdes and numerous nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by her mother Reta Sweeney, father Wess Dunn, step-father Chuck Sweeney, daughter Amanda Catherine Clarke, and daughter Julia Mae Clarke. Funeral services will be held at 11 AM on Monday, January 13th in the Oak Harbor LDS Meetinghouse with a viewing from 10 to 10:30 AM. Please plan on being seated in the chapel by 10:50 AM.
