Mary Ann Dawson, 97 years old, long time Boone County resident, passed away in Union IL on July 13, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. She’s now in the arms of her Lord & Savior. She was born in Kolin, LA to Anton and Mary (Kliment) Fencl on September 18, 1924, the last of four kids. She grew up on a farm that her parents homesteaded, & said that she had fond memories of helping her mother around the farm, especially with the animals. She worked various housekeeping/nanny jobs around the area until World War II, when she joined the ranks of “Rosie the Riveter,” working at the airfield in Alexandria, LA assembling wire harnesses for the airplanes. She met her future husband, Robert Dawson, at a dance there for enlisted men & people from the air field. They kept in contact by mail & later married in Rockford, IL. She & Robert lived on the family farm in Caledonia, IL & raised six children there. Besides raising children, Mary helped her husband on the dairy farm, raised laying hens & sold the eggs, plus ducks to slaughter & sell for holiday dinners, as well as gardening & preserving to feed her family.
