Mary A. Dumas

On December 30, 2020, Mary Ann Dumas, 68, died peacefully at home with her wife at her side, after a courageous battle with Corticobasal Degeneration.

She was born in Rutland, VT, June 28, 1952, the daughter of Mearl & Aline (Aileen) (Stephenson) Dumas.

Mary graduated from Poultney High School & continued her education in accounting.

Mary met the love of her life, Carol Soulia in 1994. They spent their time building a life of love, adventure & memories. Two of their fondest memories are their Civil Union May 27, 2007 & their marriage August 25, 2013.

Mary was a bookkeeper at Ray Beane Tire & Services Ctr for 29 yrs. Upon retiring in 2013, she worked as Customer Service/Sales Rep at Vianor Tire & Auto Service.

Mary will be remembered for her shy, yet, mischievous dimples, solid work ethic & jack-of-all-trades skills. She enjoyed sharing her knowledge, helping & giving to friends & family without a need for recognition. Mary enjoyed fishing, camping, being outdoors, baking & spending time with family, friends & her fur babies, Pringles, Yogi & Izabella.

Mary is survived by her wife/soulmate/caregiver, Carol Soulia of Proctor; daughter, Sheila (Allen) & grandson Aidan Spencer of Essex Jct; brother, Edward Dumas of Poultney; sisters, Elizabeth Nantel of Benson & Linda Ouellette Guinness of Orwell; several nieces & nephews.
