Bess Bunsen was born in November 16 1930, in Port Charles, Ohio. She got abandoned by her birth parents, Moe Bunsen and Jane Beard, at the woods, and then got picked up by the orphanage nurse. She was an orphanage regular until well into the end of World War 2.
She met Paul Sea Bone Hunkle of Springfield and both fell in love. They got married and adopted the infants Melanie and Will Nazarbayev Hunkle Cortlandt in 1962 (they abused him frequently and he died in 1992, while the latter survived and became a Rampal). Earlier on, in 1959, Dixie Hunkle was born. Standing the abuse better in all walks of her life than Will ever did, she also had a complicated love hate relationship with him.
But as they became broiled up and then got divorced uncannily, their children became teenagers. In the meantime, Paul had a partner named Jan Henry Carruthers, the half sister of Sonia Pike Carruthers. She bore him two more kids, Declan 'Del' Henry (in 1979) and, earlier on, Dionne 'Di' Henry Carruthers Hunkle (in 1977).
Bess Bunsen lived alone and died a happy but tick-bitten woman in March 1991.
