Dawn Elaine Slater was born November 17, 1927, in White Plains, New York, to the late Ulysses M. and Margarita P. Slater. She married the late Howard E. Congdon on May 3, 1947, and leaves behind three loving children, Jay Congdon, Jill Congdon and Jan Marshall. She also has four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Dawn remarried later in life to Gerald Duncan of Ocklawaha, FL.
Dawn was a loving, caring person who was beloved by all who knew her. Her preference was to be cremated and to forego a funeral service. Her cremains will be buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Roswell, GA in the Springtime.
For those who would like to honor her memory, in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to CAREing Paws a charity that works with registered therapy animals to visit nursing homes, hospitals and many other places to raise the spirits of those in need. This service helped to comfort Dawn in her final days.
