Mechanicville, Rensselaer County

Johanna M. (Petricca) Dyer of South Hudson Street passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 at Schuyler Ridge Residential Healthcare. She was 90.

Born in Leominster, MA on May 13, 1933, daughter of the late Joseph and Mildred (Carbone)

Petricca. She is the widow of the late Charles F. Dyer, Sr. who passed away in 1987.

Johanna was an active member of the community, serving as Grand Matron of the Order of the

Eastern Star, a member of the Hemstreet Park Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, officer of the

Mechanicville-Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, secretary and treasurer of the Mechanicville

Cemetery Association and was happy to take care of the 'old people' at the Mechanicville

Senior Center. She proudly worked elections for Rensselaer County with polling at

the Hemstreet Park Fire Department and was instrumental in bringing the memorial flags to honor our Veterans over the bridge into Hemstreet Park. An active business woman, she was the owner and

operator of the Charles F. Dyer and Sons Construction Company, Admirals Marina and other local

businesses. She loved traveling and was a true people person, delighting in visiting with people

as she overlooked the river at Admirals Marina. Above all, she loved her family and the time she

spent with them.

(Lynn Hale) of Mechanicville, adoring grandchildren Ashley (Gary), Alisha (Austin), Charles III (Kayla), Brandon and Alyssa and her beloved great grandchildren Matthew and Nathaniel. Also survived by her
