Mary Edna Dabrowiak, 79, of Kingston Springs, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Friday September 19, 2025, surrounded by her family.
She was the beloved wife of Don Dabrowiak for 61 years, and together they raised four amazing children -John Dabrowiak (Leslie) Nashville, Tennessee, Sue Wade (Bill) Burns, Tennessee, Nancy Reefer (John) New York, NY, and Mike Dabrowiak (Lisa) Kingston Springs, Tennessee.
She was also the proud grandmother of seven grandchildren- William Austin Wade, Aubrey Nicole Jones, Landon John Wade, John Lars Dabrowiak, Michael Bennett Dabrowiak, Sutton Chambers Dabrowiak, and Joseph Ames Dabrowiak.
All who brought her endless joy.
Caring for others was her calling. As a nurse, she devoted her career to high-risk obstetrics, and later worked as a nurse practitioner in fetal surgery research. During her career she impacted the lives of countless mothers, babies, and families. Her dedication and compassion was immeasurable, and she expressed the same deep care into her own home, where her family always came first.
Her faith carried her through her life, including her final battle, which she faced with courage and grace.
She leaves behind a family who adores her, and a legacy of love, strength, and selflessness. She made us who we are, and we will miss her every day.
Until we meet again, Mom, we love you big.
Private service to be held with immediate family.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Alive Hospice, Nashville Tennessee.
