Dawn Coe-Jones Obituary

Dawn Coe-Jones passed away in Tampa, FL, on November 12th, 2016 after a courageous eight month long battle with bone cancer. Dawn was born in Campbell River, BC, and grew up in Lake Cowichan, BC. Dawn attended Lamar University in Beaumont, TX, on a golf scholarship where she earned a degree in Education and All-American honours in 1983. Dawn's dream became a reality when she qualified for the LPGA Tour in 1984. After retiring in 2008, Dawn played on the Legends Tour and served on their Player Board. Dawn has been inducted into the B.C. Golf Hall of Fame, the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame, and has been nominated this year for the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. Dawn is survived by her loving husband, James, and her son, Jimmy, who plays for the USF Men's Golf Team; in-laws General James G. Jones and Sandy Jones, brothers John Coe and Mark Coe (Lorna), and niece Shelly Coe. Dawn was predeceased by her brother, Alan Coe, and her parents, Jack and Edie Coe. Dawn wanted to thank Kelly Feltrin, Lisa Walters, Nancy Scranton and Gail Graham for their unending support for her and her family during this tough time. A debt of gratitude must be given to Moffitt Comprehensive Cancer Center in Tampa, FL for giving Dawn the best care possible. A celebration of life will be held at the Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall on Sunday, December 18th, 2016, at 2:00pm. In lieu of cards and flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Ronald McDonald House BC, 4567 Heather Street, Vancouver BC, V5Z 0C9.

Our sincerest condolences go out to the Coe and Jones families on such a loss. Dawn was such an inspiration to so many young Canadian golfers. We miss the good old days at March Meadows watching Dawn, Kelly, Carol and Jim roaring around getting ready for her annual Jr Tournament - by far the best one in the country! Dawn always made time to give someone encouragement or even a private lesson. She was the ultimate ambassador to golf in this country and will be dearly missed. Mike Kral and Family!

I am so sorry for the huge loss of your dear wife and mother. May you be blessed with the courage and strength to get through each difficult day. I had the honor of being a teammate / friend of Dawn for 4 years at Lamar University . What a fun-loving and hard working person she was. From golfing, riding Coach Park's mopeds all over Beaumont, to enjoying her visit to my family's home in Maine back in the early '80s, the memories will always remain in the forefront of my heart. So many wonderful memories of such an AWESOME person. How blessed we all have been to have known DCJ. Love from Mary Ouellette and family in Millinocket, Maine.

Dawn will always hold a special place in our hearts. She was a great friend to our family. So many wonderful hockey memories. Shared carpools, fun weekends in various hotels for games, our sons growing up together playing this sport, all the laughs in between. She was the big sister I never had. Jimmy and Jimmy jr., may you find peace in the weeks ahead knowing your wife and mother touched the hearts of so many and was loved by all. Peace.

James, Jimmy, Mark, John, family and friends - Yes, it will be hard to face another day or month without Dawn but; rely on each other, the wonderful power of prayer and God above to carry you through and assist you with your grief.

I am so sorry to hear of Dawn's death. She set an example for women who wish to travel in her path, especially in a field that is dominated by professional males.

I certainly hope that more research will help to eradicate brain cancer. As a word of encouragement, the Holy Scriptures give us much hope. Illness and death will be things of the past.

Those who care,

I recently herd about the passing of Dawn Coe Jones, I was shocked. Many many fun memories together as hockey parents. I not so long ago, talked with both Jimmy and Dawn, seems like yesterday.... Like just yesterday, that we talked, laughed and joked together as proud parents of our young hockey athletes..
So many good times, fun times together we all shared at practices, games, tournaments and USA Hockey Nationals. All of us together, for many many years, we shared and had that special gift in common...
Proud parents watchin our children grow and achieve. Dawn will "forever" be missed by many!!
For myself and my 3 children, Matthew, Ashley and Joseph, Our hearts have a huge void..
May God be with her now and forever .

My late husband & I watched Dawn play in a LPGA tournament in London Ontario in the 1980's along with Brandi Burton & other popular players of that time.
We were just a few feet from her on the tees.
Was so shocked to read & hear of her passing at such a young age.
My sympathies go out to her husband & son & families. God bless & rest her soul!
From a Canadian fan.
