Artie Louise Dunn

Artie Louise Dunn, 70, of Ringgold, Georgia, passed away on October 24, 2026. Born February 8, 1956, Artie will be remembered with deep respect and lasting affection by all who had the privilege to know her.

Artie’s life was marked by a steady devotion to those she loved and a gentle, kind-hearted way of moving through the world. Thoughtful in the ways that mattered most, she gave of herself with quiet generosity and a selfless spirit that asked for little in return. Her patient strength and resilience carried her through life’s hardships with bravery, and her hard-working nature was matched by a warmth that made others feel seen, welcomed, and cared for.

Those closest to Artie knew the comfort found in her presence—often accompanied by her humorous storytelling, her love of listening to music, and the simple joy she took in working crossword puzzles. She also loved coloring pictures for family and friends, sharing small, heartfelt creations that reflected the care she put into making others feel cherished.

Artie was preceded in death by her parents, Bill Sharp and Arlene Raper; her husband, Michael Dunn; her sister, Billie Teems; and her daughter, Kimberly Standridge.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Angela (Jason) Higgins; her sister, Teresa Watson; her stepmother, Stepfather Curtis Raper, Jane Sharp; her niece, Brandy Teems; and her grandchildren, Nathan Phillips, Britney Holmes, Christina Myers, Chandler Calhoun, Jaelie Higgins, Autumn Higgins, and Brianna Higgins, as well as several great-grandchildren.

Artie will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered—beloved not only for what she did, but for who she was: a devoted, gentle soul whose care for others left a lasting imprint on the hearts of many.
