Mount Vernon, Washington
Aug 17, 1978 – Mar 23, 2014 (Age 35)
Dawn Marie Beeman, 35, passed away unexpectedly Sunday evening, March 23, at her home in Havre, Montana.
She was born on August 17, 1978, in Sedro-Woolley, Washington.
Dawn survived brain cancer as a young child and remained determined and resilient throughout her life. She grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington.
Due to her love and commitment to Christ she was baptized in 1992 in Oak Harbor. Dawn was homeschooled through high school and was passionately involved with youth group at Hillcrest Church.
She loved Skagit Valley and worked summers at Sakuma Brothers Farm and the WSU extension station due to her interests in gardening and the outdoors. After high school, she worked at Tutor Time and throughout her young life volunteered much of her time working with preschool aged children at church. Dawn had a heart for teaching and caring for young children. She moved to Havre in 2012.
Dawn was kind, thoughtful, forgiving, and always saw the best in others. She had a delightful sense of humor and loved to spend time with friends, laugh, and listen to music.
Dawn is survived by her father Rick Beeman of Williston, North Dakota, mother Joelene and step-father Joel Meckstroth of Mount Vernon, and her three sisters: Rheanon and her husband John Adams of Havre; Stefanie and her husband Frank Walker of Quantico, Virginia; and Rikki and her husband Travis Powell of Burlington; and numerous nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be held at one o'clock Tuesday afternoon, April 1, at Hillcrest Church in Mount Vernon. She will be laid to rest at Burlington Cemetery.
Dawn Marie was a dear friend, a beloved daughter and sister. She will be sorely missed.

My sister and I used to spend much time with Dawn and her sisters after church when we went to Avon Methodist as children; I remember what a kind and sweet person Dawn was. I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing - my thought and prayers are with you all right now...

So sad to hear this heartbreaking news. I thought of Dawn as a sister even though I only knew her a couple years. She was a sweet and caring person and I know she will be missed. God bless her family and friends during this difficult time.

I remember Dawn fondly when you were our neighbors living next to Avon Church. She would come over with her sisters and brother play with Kellie and Matt in what we considered to be our neighborhood park, the Church play equipment and parking lot. She was a special girl and we are so sad to hear she has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Kim & Alison Weymouth
