Mary Ellen Dulin
June 6, 1941 - January 4, 2023Ms. Mary Ellen Dulin, age 81, of Corbin, Kentucky, departed this life on Wednesday, January 4, 2023. She was born in Preston, Maryland, on June 6, 1941, to the late Edward and Margaret Stevens Dulin.

Mary Ellen graduated from Preston High School in Preston, Maryland, in 1959, and received a Women’s Club Scholarship to attend nursing school. She attended the Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Easton, Maryland, for three years in residence earning a Diploma in Nursing, and became a Registered Nurse soon after graduation in 1962. That was the beginning of a career that spanned 50 years as a Registered Nurse that concluded when she retired from practice in 2012. Her nursing career started in Maryland and she also practiced in California, Hawaii, and then lastly Kentucky.
Mary Ellen was the definition of being a lifelong learner as she returned to college at 65 years old and graduated from Eastern Kentucky University earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She was an avid reader and loved all types of genres of literature. She also had one of the biggest hearts for animals, especially cats, and enjoyed listening to classical music.

Posted at 11:55h, 06 JanuaryI was privileged to get to know Mary Ellen at Camp Hollymont. We were on program staff and both had our granddaughters there! I know she was loved by many and will be missed! Sending my love to the family and praying God will surround each of you with His presence and peace! The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

MaryEllen was my first supervisor (then 2N 1993) after being hired at then BRMC. She was a very caring person to work for. She made it her mission to get me in the ER to work as a tech, so my skills from the military did not go to the wayside. I’m thankful for that opportunity she provided me, and to have known her. MaryEllen was an all around, great person and will be missed. Prayers for you and your family 🙏
