- BEDFORD, Pa. — Iris E. Dawson, 84, of Bedford, formerly of Mechanic Street, Cumberland, died Thursday, Feb. 17, 2011 at the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center. Born Dec. 11, 1926 in Barrelville, she was the daughter of the late Henry Steward Winebrenner and Hazel Olive (Grady) Winebrenner. She was also preceded in death by her son, Herbert Francis Dawson Jr; and, two brothers, Lawrence H. Winebrenner, and Leonard L. Winebrenner and wife Ruby. Iris grew up in Cumberland and attended Allegany High School. After high school, she worked several jobs, including Mason’s Barn and Telephone Answering Service. Her favorite job was at the B & O, where she met and married Herb, and became a homemaker. She was Methodist by faith. Iris was a member of the D.A.R.; the UTU, Chapel Hill Lodge 176, and Cumberland Aerie 245, F.O.E., where she enjoyed helping out with bingo when she was younger. More than anything, Memaw, as she was affectionately called, loved her family. She was never too busy to be there for anyone who needed help or a hug. In her early years, she loved roller skating, bowling, and bingo, but took time to serve as a Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader for her kids. In later years, she found slot machines to be her total pleasure. Survivors include her husband, Herbert Francis Dawson Sr.; two daughters, Sandi Hnilica and husband George, and Dee Owens and husband Harry; a daughter-in-law, Nancy Dawson; six grandchildren, Dena Couturier and children Harmoni and Noah, Dillard Irvin and wife Kathy and children Amber and Ashley, Dustin Hnilica and wife Jennifer, Krista Friend and husband Jimmy and children Curtis, Madison, Joe, and Sarah, Amber Beachy and husband Darren and children Micah and Jonathan, and Herbert W. Dawson; and a sister-in-law, Betty Winebrenner. At her request, her body will be cremated and there will be no memorial service. Even though she will be deeply missed by many, we know that Herby and Hector were waiting for her and she is now with them. We love you, Iris . . .Mom . . . Memaw.
