Elaine M. Dawson, 89, died on Sunday, June 27, 2010. She is survived by her husband, Robert M. Dawson; and daughter, Susan Van Namee. Born in Woodriver, NE, Elaine grew up on her beloved Sandy River near Troutdale, OR. Being very athletic, she was forever organizing baseball games, swimming and other group activities. When WWII began, Elaine joined the US Marine Corps and served in physical training of troops going to Europe from Cherry Point, NC until the war ended and she left as a Corporal. In 1965, she re-joined the workforce at Kirtland AFB as a GS-2 and eventually retired as a GS-11, having deployed the DAWSON 1 program for the Defence Technical and Evaluation Center and receiving prestigious awards for her work. Never one to sit still, Elaine was an avid swimmer and could knit and sew anything. Her generosity and willingness to help won her many friends both at work and socially. A funeral service with Military Honors will be held for Elaine on Friday, July 2, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at French-Wyoming Chapel. Interment will follow at 1:30 P.M. at Santa Fe National Cemetery in Santa Fe, NM.
