Annie Joe Howel Dawson, 94, who taught Sunday school for 60 years and made ceramic and porcelain figurines to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity, died Wednesday in the Presbyterian Home in Evanston. The only daughter of the president of the Orange Crush Co., Mrs. Dawson was born in Ft. Worth and lived all her adult life on the North Shore in Evanston, Wilmette and Winnetka, said her son, John Howel Dawson.

In 1982, the home honored her for raising more than $250,000 with her sales. She was a longtime member of North Shore Baptist Church and taught Sunday school to 2- and 3-year-olds there. "She really helped raise three generations of kids at the church," her son said. Mrs. Dawson's husband, John A. Dawson, died in 1979. In addition to her son, she is survived by two daughters, Ann D. Stanton and Mary D. Dunbar; 10 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday in North Shore Baptist, 5244 N.
