Dawn (Davis) Seamon

HUDSON, Fla. – Dawn Davis Seamon, 80, formerly of Jay, Maine, and a resident of Hernando Beach, Fla., passed away peacefully on Monday, June 29, 2026, in Hudson, Fla., following a period of declining health. In her final days, Dawn was surrounded by the love of family and close friends, and she treasured the video calls, messages, and moments of connection from those who could not be there in person. She passed peacefully holding hands with family members.

Dawn leaves behind her daughters Kathy McGovern of Buxton, and her husband, Matt, and their two children, Brett and Meaghan; and Pam Wagner of Freeport, and her husband, Phil, and their two children, Alexandra and Benjamin; her brother, Craig Davis of Wilton, and his wife, Sondra; her sister‑in‑law, Brenda Endicott of Freeport, and her companion, Clyde Young; her brother‑in‑law, David “Donny” Vale of South Windsor, Conn., her sister-in-law, Wendy Davis of Homosassa, Fla.; and a large extended family of cousins; nieces; grandnieces; nephews; and grandnephews.

She was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Leon Seamon; her daughter, Julie Seamon; her brother, Dale Davis; and her parents, Holman and Polly Davis.

Born Aug. 1, 1945, Dawn graduated from Wilton Academy and later attended the University of Maine at Farmington. Dawn worked various jobs over the years, including at the James River/Otis Mill in Jay for more than 30 years until her retirement.

From the 1980s through the early 2000s, she and Leon operated “Seamon’s Orchard” on Route 133 in Jay. Known affectionately to the family as “the farm,” the property is now owned by her great‑niece Ashley Marshall (daughter of Leon’s nephew Jeff Adams of Wilton) and her husband, Brad. Dawn took great comfort in knowing that the land is once again being worked as a farm and has remained in the family.

In retirement, Dawn spent the winter months with Leon at their second home in Hernando Beach, Fla., until his passing, and she moved there permanently last year. She loved the easy rhythm of life in Hernando Beach, Fla., especially playing cards and dominoes and sharing laughter – and a few cocktails – with dear neighbors and friends who became like family. In Maine, she cherished her time at Spring Lake in western Maine, where she and Leon kept a camp for many years, and on Hewett Island, where they also had a camp and where she and her family loved to lobster, clam, fish, and enjoy summers together as part of the island community.

Her greatest treasures were her dear friends and family, her children and their families, her grandchildren and their partners, and her two beloved “grand‑dogs.” She took joy in being an active part of their lives right up to the end.

At her request a celebration of her life will be held in Maine later this summer.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the
