Mr. and Mrs. Williams both died at Homewood at Crumland Farms in Frederick, MD from complications of COVID-19. They met at Conewago Dairy where Dawn was dipping ice cream and Roger decided then he did not want to let her go calling her “the love of his life”. Together they shared 62 years of marriage.

A native of Hanover, Dawn was born on Friday, September 20, 1940 to the late Sterling Sandruck, Sr. and Annabelle Wolfe Sandruck.

Roger was a native of Glen Rock and had lived in Hanover most of his life. He was born on Thursday, September 8, 1938 to the late Jerome and Elizabeth Bailey Williams. A 1956 graduate of Susquehannock High School, he was a noted basketball player. After 42 years of service, he retired in 2000 as a supervisor from Emeco Industries where he had been a welder for many years.

Dawn and Roger were members of the Hanover Home Association, and enjoyed camping with extended family in their younger years, antiquing, going to flea markets and watching the Philadelphia Phillies together. In addition to her career, Dawn was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who took great pride in nurturing for her family. Roger was a member of the McSherrystown Home Association. Gifted with his hands, he will be long remembered for his handyman skills in making their house a home.
