Marie E. "Mary" Dyer

Marie E. (Juliano) Dyer, formerly of Danvers and most recently of North Andover, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on April 21, 2025. She was the beloved wife of the late David Dyer, with whom she shared over 50 years of marriage.

Born in Winchester and raised in Danvers, Marie was the daughter of the late Grace and John Juliano. She is survived by her devoted children: Elisa Sanders and her husband, Eric, of Haverhill, and David John “DJ” Dyer of Peabody. She was the proud grandmother of John Sanders and his partner, Katelyn, and Christopher Sanders and his partner, Carolyn. Marie lived for her children and grandchildren, always eager to spend time with them, embracing every opportunity for “going and doing” together or simply watching scary movies with them.

She is also survived by her loving sister, Deborah (Paul) Kilian of Billerica, and her sisters-in-law, Elizabeth Dyer of Danvers and Laurie Juliano of Florida. She leaves behind several cherished nieces and nephews: John and Anthony Juliano, Karen Lapolla, Lisa Fruggiero, Grace and Toni Juliano, and Kara, Paul, and John Kilian. She was predeceased by her two brothers, Anthony (Carolyn) and John Juliano.

A dedicated professional, Marie worked for nearly 50 years as a certified dental assistant for Dr. Alan O’Grady, DDS. It was working with Dr. O’Grady that she grew lifetime friendships with Alan and Sally O’Grady and Ann Girard. Prior to her dental career, she was employed at Essex Bank in Danvers, where she formed a lifelong friendship with Chuck and Donna Powers.

Marie and her husband, David, shared a deep love for animals, adopting several dogs over the years and providing them with loving homes. They enjoyed traveling to Cape Cod, the White Mountains, and, later in life, Florida.

Marie will be remembered for her unwavering dedication to her family, her feisty spirit, and the love she extended to all who knew her. Her legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched.

Visitation will be held from 10-10:45AM on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at C.R. Lyons & Sons, Funeral Directors, 28 Elm St., Danvers. Her Funeral Service will immediately follow in the funeral home at 11AM. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery, 686 Washington St, Winchester. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Marie’s name to Bass River, Inc., 437 Essex Street, Beverly, MA, 01915, an organization close to Marie’s heart, as they helped her care for her beautiful son, DJ, for almost 30 years.
