George became very involved in his community serving on many boards and many local organizations including the Lock Haven Rotary, Citizens Hose Company, LaFayette Lodge #199 F&AM(Past Master), Lock Haven, Jaycees and currently serves as a session member of his church.

George was married in 1986 to the former Catherine Baney and together they raised three children, Michael, Kristen & Kelly while residing at the funeral home in Lock Haven.  Cathy has always been involved in the funeral home business and is currently serving as a Clinton County Auditor..

George is the proud grandfather, AKA Dodo to four grandchildren, Silas, Turner, Rory and Mavery.  His hobbies these days include spending quality time with his family.

Dawn D. Drake

Dawn D. Drake

Funeral Director

Dawn has called the Renovo area home since 1971, when her father relocated the family from Philadelphia to purchase the Moriarty Funeral Home. A proud 1981 graduate of Bucktail Area High School, she went on to earn a degree in Mortuary Science from Northampton College, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Education from Lock Haven University.
In 1985, after completing her studies and successfully passing both the National and State Boards, Dawn became a licensed Funeral Director—honoring her father’s legacy by stepping into the profession he cherished. Tragically, just months into working alongside him, her father passed away unexpectedly in October of that same year.
With her mother assuming ownership and Dawn serving as supervisor, the two continued to operate the funeral home together for several years, until her mother’s retirement and the eventual sale of the business. Dawn later transferred her license to the Dean K. Wetzler Jr. Funeral Home in Mill Hall, where she worked closely with Dean until the funeral home's sale in 2022. She then joined the new owners as part of their rebranded Gedon Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
With more than four decades of service to families in Clinton County, Dawn considers it a blessing to have walked alongside so many during their most difficult moments. Her hope is to continue offering the same compassion, guidance, and support for many years to come.
