Dawson, and her brothers Samuel, Frank, Daniel and Felix Christopher.

The Dawson family would like to thank the nursing staff and aides of the third floor of St. Peter’s Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and the Hospice staff for the wonderful care they provided to Mary.

    Cousin Mary and George will always be remembered in our prayers as wonderful people and relatives. I can remember the fond memories of traveling to Albany, playing with my cousins, and their visits to Haverhill and the Beach. Mary was a kind and loving person and great to be around. Our sincere sympathy to the immediate family.
