Barbara Goddard Theg Dickey

Known by all as Bunty, she was the widow of the celebrated outdoor writer Charley Dickey and a resident of Westminster Oaks for the past five years. Raised in the Boston area, Bunty attended Abbott Academy and Wellesley College, where she received her B.A. in political science. She settled in Connecticut with her first husband, Peter Theg, where she enjoyed a successful career in real estate while raising her three children Kate, Steve and Ellen. Five years after Pete’s untimely death, she married Charley Dickey and moved with him to Tallahassee in 1972. She supported Charley’s writing career with her own photography and editing, and as the subject of Charley’s many columns in the Tallahassee Democrat. Bunty and Charley loved their dogs, dancing and traveling, visiting Mexico, China, Africa, Russia and much of Europe.

She is survived by her three children, Kate Thegen of Durham, NC, Steve Theg of Davis, CA, and Ellen Theg of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, her daughter-in-law Jill Miller Theg, her six beloved grandsons, and many friends in Tallahassee and across the country.
