Lillian Dawson

Dawson Lillian working

It is with sad hearts that the family of Lillian Dawson announce her passing on July 13, 2019.  Lillian leaves behind her children, Caroline Wilson ( Don, Alycia, Andrew), Gerry Weismiller (Grant, Bryan, Kathleen), Belinda Anderson (Quinten), John Dawson (Shannon, Kira, Mackenzie, Luke, Jayden), Moira Raposo (Hermano, Jacob), Louise Dawson-MacLean (Burke MacLean); sisters, Rita, Margaret, Iris and Mavis; brother, Clifford; sisters-in-law, Olga, Pansy; brother-in-law, Leno.  She has many nieces and nephews here and abroad, as well as extended family members and friends, all of whom will miss her.

Lillian was predeceased by Benedict (husband), Ann and Stephen (children), Aubrey and Eugene (brothers) and Francis and Louisa (parents).

Lillian was born in Belgaum, India on November 26, 1935.  She lived in many places during her childhood because her father worked on the railway.  Adapting to many places helped in her adventures with her husband, Benedict. They lived in Bahrain, Belgium and settled in Edmonton where they raised six children.  She was a kind and compassionate person who loved children, family and friends. We will deeply miss Lillian’s gentle loving presence.

Mom was very grateful for all the care and compassion she received from family friends, We Care (homecare) as well as the doctors, nurses and other staff members at the University Hospital, especially her dialysis units (5C2, 5C4) and Pastoral Care, Reverend Eamonn and Molly, Lillian’s family thanks you as well.

In lieu of floral tributes, donations may be made to: The University of Alberta Foundation- Northern Alberta Renal Program.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Assumption Catholic Parish, 9040 – 95 Ave, Edmonton. 95 Ave is closed, please use residential streets.

    My thoughts and prayers are with all the family during this difficult time. I never saw your Mom in the latter years, but she always had a special spot in my heart.
    A gentle kind soul who was strong in her faith and well respected. The epitome of strength, love and wisdom
    Just know you did everything your could – you cared, you loved deeply and you’re being thought of with loving concern in the days to come
