Octavia Dawn Peters Ramage

Octavia Dawn Peters Ramage, formerly of Starr Hill in Littleton, died peacefully on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Dodge Park Rest Home in Worcester MA. She was 95.

 Born in Passaic, New Jersey just days before the Great Depression, she was the only child of Barnaby L. Peters and Marie L. (Popeck) Ellenberger. She is survived by her children, Iain Ramage, Moragh Ramage, and Taran Ramage; several maternal cousins; her dear college pal Hoki, with whom she continued to enjoy long phone chats for over 70 years; her fellow members in the small but devoted offshoot of Middlesex Writers' Guild who had met monthly for over 30 years; and by her beloved caregivers at Dodge Park, whom she fully considered to be family and who will miss her terribly. 

A private memorial will take place at a later date.

Donations in Dawn’s memory may be made to JFS of Metrowest. 475 Franklin Street, Suite 101, Framingham, MA 01702. https://jfsmw.org/
