Today, our team at Dunbar Funeral Home – Dutch Fork Chapel was honored to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new home of American Legion Post 193 on Amicks Ferry Road.

This milestone represents years of dedication and commitment by the members of Post 193, the Sons of the American Legion, and the many volunteers who helped bring this vision to life. We were proud to join hundreds of community members in celebrating this special occasion.

The event was especially meaningful to our team, as it allowed us to celebrate alongside many of the veterans, Legion members, and Sons of the American Legion we are privileged to know and serve, including members of our own Dunbar family.

Congratulations to everyone at Chapin American Legion Post 193 on this tremendous achievement! We look forward to seeing the positive impact your new home will have on veterans, their families, and our community for years to come.

At Dunbar Funeral Home – Dutch Fork Chapel, we are honored to support our local veterans and organizations like the American Legion. We are especially grateful for the work they do through the Unclaimed Veterans Burial Program and for the American Legion Riders, whose presence at so many funeral services serves as a powerful reminder that no veteran is ever forgotten.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued commitment to our community. 🇺🇸

Judith "Judy" Barnes Jarrett was born on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, 1946, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her parents moved to Columbia, S.C. when Judy was an infant and she spent the majority of her life in Columbia and Chapin, S.C. She passed away at home surrounded by loved ones on July 11, 2026.

She grew up in Forest Acres and attended local schools. After graduation from high school she attended and graduated from the old Columbia Hospital School of Nursing where she earned her Registered Nurse designation. She was working as a registered nurse when she met Gene, her husband of fifty-six years.

When their children started arriving, she became a full-time mother. Over the years, she was very generous with her time volunteering as a school nurse and later as an active band parent for the Irmo High School Marching Band. Her youngest daughter was a member of the band and when they participated in her first away contest, Judy was surprised to learn that there were no plans to feed the almost two hundred band members. Before the next contest, Judy gathered a few band mothers at her home and they prepared meals for every member. At the contest, bands from other schools noted what Irmo had done and quickly followed suit.

Judy was also active in her church serving on several committees. She especially enjoyed the Flower Guild since she had worked as a floral designer part-time when she attended nursing school. She enjoyed many happy years living in their Lake Murray home and their place in Cherry Grove Beach. Judy's outside beauty was obvious. She was just as beautiful in every other aspect of her life.

Judy was predeceased by her parents, Lloyd and Caroline Barnes; her daughter, Chris; her brother, Capt. Jeff Barnes, USAF, and her half-brother, Bob Barnes. She is survived by her husband, Gene; two daughters; ten grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Monday, July 20th at Elmwood Cemetery, Columbia, S.C. with Rev. Jill Williams and Rev. Chris Fischer officiating. The family will receive friends after the service at the cemetery.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robert Anthony Cavanaugh, a devoted father, grandfather, Army veteran, and one of the hardest-working people anyone had the privilege of knowing.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army, carrying the values of honor, dedication, and service throughout his life. After his military service, he built a career as a property manager, where he was respected for his dependability, skill, and commitment. He was also a talented handyman who could fix almost anything and was always ready to help family, friends, and neighbors. Additional career, he worked in the grocery industry as a proud union member, believing in honest work and taking pride in providing for his family.

He was the Son of the late Edward and Angela Cantoni. More than anything, he was a loving father to his children, Melissa Jacobs (Cavanaugh) Edward Jones (Tabitha), Joseph Jones (Christine), Ronald Jones (Kathy), and a proud grandfather to Nicole Jacobs, Eric Jacobs, Matt Miller, Rebecca Jones, Joshua Jones, Orion Jones, Sophia Jones. his brother, Richard C. Cavanaugh, Sr. (Lillian). He was preceded in death by James Cavanaugh, John Cantoni, and Edward Cantoni.

He cherished the time he spent with his family, and his love, wisdom, and unwavering support will remain with them always.

He will be remembered for his incredible work ethic, generous heart, quiet strength, and willingness to help others without expecting anything in return. His life was an example of integrity, perseverance, and love.

Though our hearts are heavy with his loss, we find comfort in the memories he leaves behind and the legacy he built through his service, his hard work, and his devotion to his family. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten. Rest in peace. Your service, strength, and love will continue to inspire all who knew you.

Memorial Service will be held at New Life Community Center at 12:00 on July 19, 2026.

Lisa Scott Dolan, 63, of Irmo, South Carolina passed away peacefully on July 2, 2026. Born on January 25, 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee, she was the beloved daughter of Sammie and Billie Scott.
Lisa built a successful and industrious career as a sales representative for multiple industries, in which her people skills and knack for relationship building paved the foundation for many mutually-beneficial endeavors. She married Bryon Dolan on June 10, 2000, and they shared 26 memorable years together.

Lisa was known, first and foremost, for her love of the Lord, followed by her joyous sense of humor, her perpetual smile, her unshakable optimism, and her never-ending encouragement of others. Lisa’s friendships were characterized by tremendous love and undying loyalty, and those lucky enough to call her a friend were like family. She loved and cared for her animals with exceptional depth, as her own children, especially her horses, Gideon, Sunny, and Bolero, with whom she explored many trails. She loved and was well-known for s**g dancing, which she learned from her brother, Gary, at a young age. She was passionate about sharing the Word of the Lord, and especially took joy in her missionary work with Hope for the World India, with its primary mission to help millions of orphaned children.

She is survived by her husband, Bryon; her stepchildren, Shannon, Sheena, and Sean; her older sister, Diane Scott; her older brothers, Gary Scott and Sammie Scott (wife Denise); and her nieces, Jennifer and Kendra (daughter Paisley), and nephew, David (daughter Claudia and son Wynn).
