July 25, 1925 — August 5, 2012
Dorothy Edson, 87 years old, of Meredith, passed away on August 5, 2012 at Lakes Region General Hospital, Laconia, NH.
Born on July 25, 1925 in Framingham, MA, Dot was raised in Sherborn, MA, by her sister and brother-in-law following the tragic death of her parents when she was 5 years old. She married her high school sweetheart, Charles Edson, on July 2, 1945. Charlie's General Electric career allowed them to live in various states around the country, but Lake Winnipesaukee had been their home base since 1953.
Dot was predeceased by her husband; daughter, Donna Nisar; her sisters, Delora Lockhart and Helen MacLeod and their spouses.
She is survived by her daughter and husband, Karen and Chuck Thorndike; her nephew, Roy Lockhart; grandchildren: Hank Eppich, Christopher & Peter Thorndike, Shannon Benedix and Kelly Sturmer; seven great-grandchildren.
A celebration of her life will take place on Sunday, September 23, from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Bob House & Reel-In Grill, Route 25, Moultonborough.
The family appreciates the fine care given to Dottie by the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor, Drs. Gutner, Aldridge, Rush and Cruz, and the nursing staff of LRGH.
Memorial donations may be made in her name to the Visiting Nurses of Meredith & Center Harbor, 186 Waukewan St., Meredith, NH 03253.
