Augusta Law Obituary

Dr. Augusta Foster Law, a longtime resident of Milford, died after a short illness at Peterborough's RiverMead Retirement Community. She was 98.

Born in Sargentville, Maine on October 19, 1922, to Mildred (Sargent) Foster and Charles K. Foster I, she attended Ellsworth High School, the University of Maine at Orono, Tufts Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public Health. Augusta and her husband, Dr. Alexandre G. Law, settled in Milford in 1954.

A remarkable trailblazer in the medical field, her long career in public health included positions at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Harvard School of Public Health, and the New Hampshire Division of Public Services. In addition to her work in public health, she assisted her husband and other area physicians in general practice.

Dr. Law was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her beloved brother, Charles "Pat" Foster II of Ellsworth, Maine.

Dr. Law is survived by her son and three daughters: Ian Law (Wanda) of San Diego, California; Marjorie Law (Joe) of Crawfordville, Florida; Susan Fleisher (Adam) of Poughkeepsie, New York; and Aimee Heru (Michael) of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. In addition to her 4 children, Augusta is survived by 7 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Gus deeply appreciated her friends, both old and new. She loved being a doctor, piercing ears, hiking, riding her mountain bike, driving, and swimming.

Her family would like to thank the RiverMead staff for their most attentive care of Gus in her final days.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association or Souhegan Home and Hospice Care, in Milford, NH.
