This is Muriel Thatcher Dean (1903-1984).

Muriel's father George Sisson Dean, died 1927 and is buried in East Providence Rhode Island, in the Ancient Little Neck Cemetery.

I think the Census-taker's mind must have drifted for a moment, as he has labeled Muriel's mother as "George". Or perhaps she called herself "Mrs. George Dean" and he wrote that down.
