On November 24, 2020, God sent his angels down and called home Mary Lee Dawson “Ree”. Mary was born July 18, 1936 to the late Marcus Forman and Marcella Artis. Preceding her in death are two sons, Dennis Harvey, Jr. and Home J. Dawson; daughter, Dorothy Elizabeth Hambric; cousins, George A. Williams, Bettie Simmons and Marvin E. Woods (BooBoo).]
Mary worked for Hill Haven nursing home over twenty-five years where she retired, August 1998. She was well known and loved by everyone who knew her. She was a hard worker and loved her family dearly. Her children, grandchildren – great-grandchildren, Mary enjoyed trips to the casino and long trips to NC, she loved to gather with family and friends. She was the life of the party. Mary was an excellent cook and would give you her last.

Dawson (Joyce), and Willie Harvey; ten grandchildren; fifteen great grand- children; three great-great grandchildren; cousins, Alvin and Elywoods; a special friend, Kasean Davis (Beanie); and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

November 27, 2020 at 10:26 pmTo the family of Ms. Mary I’m sorry for your loss. She was like family to us. Her and my grandma Ms. Mary Covington were really good friends. They would often go to the grocery store together or she would ride with my grandma to run an errand just to get out the house sometimes. Got but never forgotten. Hold on to the sweet memories that you shared with your mother.
Love the Hall and Covington Family

I use to do her hair when curls were out. I always admired her and will remember her fondly. We will keep you in our prayers
Love Marvin and Evelyn Sharpe
