Dorothy "June" (Skinner) Duling, formerly of Marion, died Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 10:10 p.m. at the Fairmont Rehabilitation Center, Kokomo.
She was born on March 8, 1918, in Marion, Indiana, the daughter of the late Clarence C. and Gladys (Oden) Skinner. June married Meredith Duling of Marion on May 8, 1939. They were married 67 years when he preceded her in death January 4, 2006.
She was employed at the Marion Shoe Factory. She graduated from State Beauty School in 1960. She owned and operated the Rainbow Beauty Shop in Sweetser and the Looking Glass in Marion. She then taught at State School in Marion and Wright Beauty College in Kokomo & Logansport until her retirement in 1989. She was a member of the Marion First Church of the Nazarene. In the 1950's she and her husband, Meredith were instrumental in the 'church planting' of the Home Avenue Nazarene Church (now Lincoln Boulevard Nazarene). She and Meredith also sang together many years throughout several churches in Indiana.
Survivors include one son, Jerry Dean Duling of Kokomo, Indiana; granddaughters, Leah Steere (Scott) of Indianapolis, Indiana; Rebecca Bowlin (Joshua) of New Zealand, Indiana; and Alison Nichols of Marion, Indiana; four great-grandchildren, Garrett & Jessica Steere and Cail & Averie Bowlin; sister, Clarell Nadine Graham (Elwin) and brother, John E. "Jack" Skinner (Martha) both of Marion, Indiana; sister-in-laws, Lois Skinner of Colorado, and Hattie Duling of Kentucky. Many neices and nephews also survive her.
Her oldest son, Loren E. Duling preceded her in death on May 19, 2005. Other family preceding her was a sister Geraldine Jane Skinner and a brother, Clarence "Buck" Skinner, Jr.
An obituary certainly cannot tell the impact that June had on so many people throughout her long span of life. If she touched your life, then you know and feel her countenance.

The family sincerely requests that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to The American Cancer Society or Gideons International.
