Dear Parishioners and Friends,
June Dyson entered into God's greater glory on May 9th at age 101.
A longtime friend of St. Mary's and lover of Tuxedo Park, her vivacious spirit and charm will be missed by all who knew her.
June started spending time in Tuxedo in the 1950's and originally rented "Brookside" before purchasing her house on West Lake Stable Road.
She grew up in Locust Valley, NY. Among the first women to graduate from New York Law School, she then became one of the first female attorneys at one of the big downtown firms.
June was a very accomplished bridge player and scratch golfer. She went to the Metropolitan Opera every week when it was in season, and travelled extensively. She was the longest serving member of The Tuxedo Club and was also a member of The Colony Club.
June was predeceased by husbands Randy Marston and Charles Dyson. She is survived by nieces and nephews, her devoted caregiver Maria, and many friends.
Due to the current crisis, we are unable to gather together to honor her memory at the church, but until we can, will will keep her in our hearts and prayers. A private interment will take place at St. Mary's in the near future, and when normal operations resume, a proper public memorial will be held. Our Saturday night service of compline tomorrow (May 16 at 9pm) will be dedicated to her memory (all services are
online at Facebook
during the pandemic, you do not need a Facebook account to participate).
May June's soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace. Amen.
Father Rick
