Obituary: Naples (FL) News

Sarah Gibbons Ward DunkleyJuly 13, 1939 - December 28, 2011
Longtime year-round and seasonal resident of Naples and Martha's Vine yard, Sarah "Sally" Dunkley, passed away in Naples, FL after complications from ongoing treatment for lymphoma. She was 72 years old.
Sally was born at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, first daughter of John Lyon Gibbons and Margaret Francis Gibbons. She was raised in a 19th century Dutch colonial farmhouse known as the John Jacob Blauvelt House, on the 40 acre family property at 20 Zukor Road, New City, NY.
As a child she and her two siblings, John Blauvelt Gibbons, and Margaret "Molly" Remsen Gibbons, enjoyed the varied landscape of the property farms, barns, orchards, fields, woods, the swamp (site of winter skating), as well as the wonderful old farmhouse. She attended elementary school across the street at Street School, and later the Baldwin School For Girls in Bryn Mawr, PA.
Sally studied as an undergraduate in art at Cornell University, and met with Josef Albers at Yale University with the intent to continue her studies there. However, life intervened, and Sally became a wife and mother, giving birth to her beloved daughters, Margaret Ann ("Molly") in 1959, and Linda Elizabeth ("Bookie") in 1960.
Sally worked as a dental assistant as well as continuing her art studies at the Lighthouse School of Art and Design in Nyack, NY under Harvey Dwight Dash, while raising her children at the family home in New City. She married Kenneth Ward, also of New City, and they continued to enjoy life at the family home until it was donated in 1970 to the Rockland County Historical Society.
Sally welcomed the birth of her son, Jonathan Robert McKenzie Ward, in 1972. In the summer of 1973, Sally and family made a move that would affect all of their lives: they relocated year-round to the island of Martha's Vineyard, first living on the Gibbons property on Lighthouse Road in Aquinnah which had been their family's summer getaway since the late 1940s. They eventually settled in the woods of Vineyard Haven.
Sally's life as an artist began to blossom on the Vineyard. She began regularly oil painting, developing, exhibiting, and selling her signature, satirical character studies. "My people" as she called them, included cocktail partygoers, cleaning women, taxi drivers, middle-aged beachgoers, and humans engaged in everyday activities with a humorous slant.
Sally became a graphic designer for Woodchips Designers of Vineyard Haven in the 1970s, producing a line of tote bags and other household items. As a freelance artist, she designed popular greeting cards, as well as T-shirts, logos, posters and signs for local events and businesses (Tashmoo Farm, Nip n' Tuck Farm, Vineyard Gourmet, to name just a few). In 1977, Tashmoo Press published her first book, Summer People, Some Are Not. This collection of cartoons coauthored with Cynthia Wayman became an infamous Vineyard staple, satirizing Island life with good humor.
Through her work as a children's librarian at the Vineyard Haven Public Library, she was inspired to create her first of many published children's books. In 1986, Sally authored and illustrated Charlie and Grandma and Molly and Grandpa, both published by Scholastic in 1986. Contracted by E.P. Dutton, she published Punky Spends the Day, Punky Goes Fishing, and The Yawn Goes On. Doubleday issued What Goes Around Comes Around in 1991. She continued to illustrate children's books by different authors as well, such as Laney's Lost Momma, written by Diane Johnston Hamm, and Keep Your Socks On, Albert!, by Linda Glaser. Sally also illustrated works by many Island friends and authors, including The Magic Sea Glass of West Chop by Constance Sanborn, Touring Martha's Vineyard with Judy Bigwheels by Judith Bailow, and Vineyard Tales by Gale Huntington.
She was happily married to Dr. Eric Malcolm Dunkley of Vineyard Haven, MA on June 20, 1993. Their life together eventually led them to leave Martha's Vineyard and establish residences in Naples, FL and Sandwich, MA. They continued to foster strong Vineyard ties, while frequently traveling to Malcolm's previous residences, Wales and Canada. Sally's last book for young readers, The Anesthesiologist published by Blackbirch Press in 1999, featured Dr. Dunkley in photographs by longtime friend Jackie Baer. With her children grown, she had time to continue her artistic pursuits, continuing work on her unique oil painting, watercolors, mixed-media and collage, which appeared in numerous gallery exhibitions on the Vineyard and in Naples.
Music was also a lifelong love and pursuit. As a child she studied piano, and often entertained her children by "ripping off a tune" - anything from Chopin to Schumann to spirituals, always played with passion and cheer. She was self-taught on guitar and accordion, and also sang throughout her life, most notably with the Grace Church Choir in Vineyard Haven, the Florida-based a capella women's group "Six of Hearts" and the "Voices of Naples" chorus, as well as numerous "Messiah" performances and around-thepiano home Christmas Carol sing-a-longs.
Though she lost her year-long struggle with lymphoma, she never lost her spirit, nor her clever and contagious good humor. She never stopped creating, continually drawing, filling dozens of journals and finishing stacks of manuscripts before her death. She cherished the love she received from her large extended family, as well as her many good friends. She passed on many of her creative gifts to her children and grandchildren, and she delighted in her role as number one champion and supporter. Her larger-than life presence, sharp wit, and bright smile will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
Sally was predeceased by her parents; and brother. John Gibbons; and leaves her husband, Malcolm Dunkley of Naples, FL, sister, Molly Marx of West Tisbury; children, Molly Conole of Winter Park, FL, Linda Fandel of Oak Bluffs, and Jonathan Ward of Los Angeles. Sally leaves three stepchildren; three grandchildren; two nieces; one nephew; four step-grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and numerous extended family and friends.
A memorial service and reception will be held on July 21, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Vineyard Haven.
In lieu of flowers, gifts to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or one of the many good causes Sally supported, would be much appreciated.

HOLLINGSWROTH, Henry, was the son of Valentine HOLLINGSWORTH, an eminent Quaker, who came from Cheshire about the year 1682, and settled in Newcastle county. His mother was Ann, the daugher of Henry CORNISH, High Sheriff of London, who was unjustly executed during the reign of James II. Henry was a surveyor, and it has been said that he assisted Thomas HOLMES, the Surveryor-General, in laying out the plan of Philadelphia. If this be the case, he must have immigrated before his father. He was in membership with Friends, and appears to have been married before he left England. For some time he was deputy surveyor for Chester county and made a number of our original surveys. In 1695, when he resided in Chester, and held the office of Sheriff of Chester county, he represented Newcastle county in the Provincial Assembly; his father being a representative for Newcastle county the same year. In 1700 and for some time afterwards he was clerk of the courts of Chester county He appears to have been a man of considerable energy whch he exercised in furthering the improvements of the county. He was the owner of lots and built in Chester and was part owner and probably the projector of the first mill built in Upper Providence (about 1695). He resided in Chester til 1701 and perhaps later when he removed to Maryland and settled at Elk (now Elkton) and received the appointment of Surveyor for Cecil county. He raised a large family of sons among who mas Zebulon, the father of Levi HOLLINGSWORTH, and eminent merchant of Philadelphia who died in 1824.
