Maria Sonya Pavlenkov, 90 Maria S. Pavlenkov, was born on a Tuesday, July 6, 1920. Maria transitioned to her new eternal life at home on the morning of August 15, 2010 in the arms of her family. Maria wished to convey this message in her own words to family and friends. "After a most successful 46 years in Prosthodontics (Dentistry), I am retiring to Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery in Methuen to be with my loved family. I bid adieu to those I love, my most beloved, dedicated and caring helpmate daughter, Carol T. St. James and her son, my most beloved grandson, Gregory D. St. James and to my dearest brother Walter, who has been a caring helpful brother and to Carol's partner Gregg who has been most kind. And to Anna, my loved, predeceased brother's wife. I bid adieu to my dearest and most beloved nieces, Donya and Marcia who were so very close to me and to all in Marcia's Family. Also, my niece Susan and her husband Terry and my niece Kathy and her husband John and family and to my nephew Tom and his wife Dianne." "God Bless You All" Maria Pavlenkov was an intelligent and most elegant woman and a loving dedicated mother. Her parents were from Russia and arrived in the United States in 1914. She was the second youngest out of 6 children. Maria excelled in her education and in her dental profession. She was commended by her clients and known to have great skill and artistic talent in her prosthodontic work. Her dental patients often mentioned that she had "golden hands". Maria retired from dentistry when her grandson, Gregory, was born so that she could fully dedicate her care and attention on her most precious grandson. The guidance, kindness, endurance, perseverance and all of her life's lessons will live on in her family. Maria was a gourmet cook and was so pleased to cook and bring all kinds of delicacies and staples to all the family throughout her life. No one has yet to master her roast duck with orange sauce! Maria dedicated herself to the care and well being of her whole extended family. Maria's / Mother's Love is carried in our hearts and minds. It is shared and everlasting through our generations and will transcend through the years to come as a guiding light for the good of all......
