Marion Owen Sims Bunker, 78, passed peacefully into life everlasting on Saturday, June 24, 2017, following a short battle with cancer. Born February 19, 1939 in Richland, GA, Marion was the youngest daughter of Dr. & Mrs. Alfonso Radford Sims. She attended Saint Mary’s School in Raleigh, NC, before entering Randolph Macon Woman’s College in Lynchburg, VA, where she became a member of Chi Omega. All along the way she attracted what became lifelong friendships.
While pursing her studies at Randolph Macon, she met a West Point cadet, Robert M. (Bob) Bunker. Although very different in personality, the two shared a strong Christian faith, adventurous and giving spirits, and a shared focus on the gifts of family and the sanctity of marriage. They married in 1959, a year after Bob’s graduation. She then completed her studies, earning a bachelor of arts in History.
