Ingrid Patricia Dunn, 60, of Palm Coast, Florida, passed away on September 20, 2026.

Ingrid was born on December 18, 1965, in St. Ann’s Bay, St. Ann, Jamaica, to Albertha Boswell-James and Seymour Dunn, both of whom survive her. She attended St. Hilda’s Diocesan High School in Brown’s Town, St. Ann, graduating in 1982.

Around that time, Ingrid began studying the Bible with Jehovah’s Witnesses. The answers she found in the Scriptures addressed questions she had carried since childhood and gave her a hope that would influence the rest of her life. She was baptized in Jamaica in January 1984 and remained deeply devoted to Jehovah, the Bible, and helping others learn about its promises.

Ingrid was formerly married to Delopene Stanley. She was the devoted mother of Khela Stanley-Daggarty and Michael Stanley, and the cherished grandmother of Adalena Daggarty.

After coming to the United States, Ingrid was determined to create a better future for her family. She worked while continuing her education, attending Valencia College and later the University of Central Florida, where she studied micro and molecular biology and chemistry. She also participated in an international research program in Madrid, Spain.

Her determination eventually led her to the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, where she earned her medical degree in 2005. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, and became board certified in 2009. After returning to Florida, she established Women’s Healthcare of Orlando, P.A. in 2010.

Michael remembers traveling with his mother as her education and medical career took them from Florida to the Washington, D.C. area, Massachusetts, and eventually back to Florida. Through those years, he saw the sacrifices she made for her children. She often told him, “I am here for you, and I want to make sure you are taken care of.” Her determination to succeed was closely tied to her desire to give her family opportunities and a secure future.

That same concern for others was evident in Ingrid’s work as a physician. Michael remembers patients frequently commenting on how thorough she was and how much time she spent listening, explaining, and making sure they understood their care. Some became close to her personally. She also used her medical knowledge to help women who had limited access to traditional healthcare. Ingrid worked extremely hard, but she never wanted the people she cared for to feel like they were simply another patient.

Despite her professional accomplishments, Ingrid’s spiritual life remained more important to her than her career. She loved Jehovah, loved studying the Bible, and especially loved teaching others. She participated regularly in the ministry and later served as a pioneer. She believed that medicine could help a person physically for a time, but helping someone come to know Jehovah could have a much more lasting benefit.

One of the most meaningful parts of her spiritual life was helping her daughter Khela rebuild her relationship with Jehovah. Ingrid became Khela’s Bible teacher and patiently encouraged her to pray and to “Trust in Jehovah.” She eventually had the joy of seeing Khela baptized and later pioneering alongside her daughter and granddaughter.

Ingrid’s care for others was especially evident within her family. She supported Khela during serious health difficulties and helped care for Adalena. Even as Ingrid’s own health declined, her instinct was still to think about others. Michael remembers visiting her when she was weak and using a walker, yet she still wanted to prepare something for him to eat.

Her family also remembers the simple moments. Michael recalls playing outside with his mother when he was young and their tradition of getting Cold Stone ice cream during the cold Massachusetts winters. Adalena remembers baking, playing games, spending time outdoors, and making Memorial bread with her grandmother.

Ingrid enjoyed painting, beading, photography, cooking, baking, gardening, reading, spending time with her family, and studying the Bible. She especially enjoyed what her family described as “digging for spiritual treasures.”

Ingrid is survived by her mother, Albertha Boswell-James; her father, Seymour Dunn; her daughter, Khela Stanley-Daggarty; her son, Michael Stanley; her granddaughter, Adalena Daggarty; and her siblings Michael Wilson, Lana Dunn-Anamelechi, Neville Benjamin, Karen Benjamin-Anderson, Donna Johnson-Jones, Stacy Johnson-Bucolo, Derrick Johnson, Jessica Williams-Curry, Rayon Wright, Jerome James, Patrick Dunn, Ray Dunn, Gregory Dunn, Chazan Dunn, Whitney Dunn, and Ryan Dunn.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Paul Dunn.

Ingrid accomplished a great deal in her life. She was a compassionate physician and faithful servant of Jehovah. She used her education to help people medically, personally, and spiritually. She was soft-spoken, kind, generous, loving, patient, hardworking, intellectually curious, and willing to give of herself. Those who knew her will remember the legacy of her notable qualities.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Feel free to join via Zoom with ID: 86400901937 and Password: 972714.
