Patricia Ann Lucas Dunbar

Patricia Ann Lucas Dunbar, age 83, of Kennesaw, Georgia, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully at home with her family by her side on September 15, 2025. Pat’s family was her greatest joy. Born in Flushing, NY, to William Lester Lucas and Margaret Emery, Pat’s parents died when she was very young. Her father passed away when she was five and her mother when she was eighteen. Pat was raised in Sea Cliff, NY, and graduated from North Shore High School in Glen Head, NY. She received an associate’s degree in science from Green Mountain College in Poultney, VT, and was accepted in Columbia University’s pre-med program. In May 1962, while living with her Aunt Dot in Valley Cottage, NY, Pat met the love of her life, Alan, while grocery shopping at Buddy’s Market, where Alan worked. After a short courtship, Pat and Alan married in January 1963 and started their life together in Rochester, NY, where Alan finished college at the University of Rochester. Pat had several interesting jobs while living in Rochester, including working in the Brain Waves Department at Strong Memorial Hospital and working as a medic and ambulance driver. In 1969, Pat and Alan left the cold winters of New York behind and moved to South Florida, first to Hillsboro Beach, and shortly after to Delray Beach, where they made their home for 34 years. In Delray Beach, Pat and Alan raised their family of four. Pat worked in the medical field as Office Administrator for an OB/GYN practice and was active in the Delray Beach community. Pat and Alan were members of the local social Jubileers Club, where many friends and long-lasting memories were made. Many summer family memories were also made at the Ocean Club of Florida. Pat was the first woman Director of the Delray Beach Tennis Center. She had a passion for volunteer work, volunteering for the Atlantic High School Eagle-ettes and as caregiver for the local Hospice Care Center. Pat and Alan moved to Kennesaw, Georgia in 2003. In her retirement, Pat enjoyed travel, volunteering, and spending time with family and good friends. Pat was an active member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Marietta for over 20 years, where she and Alan would often volunteer at the church. In furtherance of her Christian faith and service, Pat became a Stephens Minister in January 2009, providing care and spiritual support to those in need in the Marietta and Kennesaw communities for over 10 years.
