Tiffany Marie (Beccue) Dunaway (43) of Altamont

Tiffany Marie (Beccue) Dunaway, 43, of Altamont gained the ultimate victory as she was called by her angel, Myah, to rest with Jesus early Saturday morning, February 12, 2022, at her home with her loving husband and son by her side.

Tiffany, the daughter of Roger & Penney Beccue, was born Wednesday, March 1, 1978, in Michigan City, Indiana. She married her husband, Jason Dunaway, on April 1, 2006, and they were blessed with the joy of their son, Kelton Frankie Dunaway on March 11, 2011.

Tiffany was a graduate of Altamont Community High School, attended Bowling Green University, graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a bachelors and master’s degree, then went on to graduate from Des Moines University in Des Moines, Iowa in 2008 with a physician’s assistant degree. After graduating P.A. school, she was able to work for several years her dream of helping people at Bonutti Clinic. Later she was assisted by the Schultz Family & Deb’s Catering to be a part of “The Giving Plate”.

Tiffany was always the champion to the underdog and under privileged. Her heart was large and pure as she loved and cared for all. After a near 8-year battle with metastatic breast cancer, her determination, her spirit, her fight, and her faith were boldly present. Although she lost her earthly battle to cancer her victory of faith in her Lord and Savior was won. She vehemently shared to all who would listen that her faith was not and could not be broken, chipped, or cracked.

So many thanks are extended to the hundreds and hundreds of persons who lifted her in prayer and cared and supported her through the years. Special thanks to those at the Cancer Center, St. Anthony Women’s Wellness, the Woohoo Sisterhood, Dr. Dy, the Hospice Nurses, especially Krysta, and so many more.
