Dunford Wedding Program

MEET THE girls

Savannah, Junior’s oldest, currently resides in Las Cruces, New Mexico where she is currently pursuing her master’s in Social Work at New Mexico State University. As a 2017 graduate and stand out basketball player at Fort Chiswell High School, she was blessed to receive a full scholarship to Concord University to continue her athletic career and graduate with a Business degree. After college, Savannah joined the Army where she was stationed in Fort Sill, Oklahoma for her basic training and NIT, before being stationed in El Paso, Texas. During her basic training, she received the Distinguished Honor Award for being top in her class. Savannah is the one we call our “Counselor” and “The Life of the Party”—there’s never a dull moment with her, but she also has the heart to listen and care for us all without judgement. Gracelyn, the oldest of Heather’s four daughters, graduated from Fort Chiswell High School with honors and in the top ten percent of her class. She also took dual enrollment classes and graduated from Wytheville Community College with an Associate’s Degree. During her high school career, she served as a setter and libero in volleyball and as the number one seed in tennis. She currently attends Radford University where she is pursuing her Bachelor's in Psychology, and then her Master's in Counseling. Her dream is to become a counselor for children one day. In the meantime, she serves as a barista and waitress at the Draper Mercantile. Gracelyn is our laid back, super trustworthy and compassionate one. She is always willing to help us when we need her. She has a true heart of gold and always sees the best in everyone. Leia is the second oldest of Heather’s four daughters and is currently a sophomore at Fort Chiswell High School, where she is a straight-A student. She plays tennis and volleyball, where she is serving her second year on Varsity as the starting setter. Leia enjoys drawing, painting, reading, playing the guitar, and doing hair and makeup. Leia is our super creative and talented one. She can be the sweetest mother hen, but turn around and cut you like a knife. She’s always ready to leave as soon as we get to any place, but if you give her a mic, she’ll beg Jolene not to take her man.
