Dawn became an Elk last year and had already done so many wonderful things around the Lodge. Stepping up to be our Secretary was the best. She was so intuitive to the needs of the members and was a pleasure to work with. Everyone loved her and wanted to sit near her when she was in the Lodge. She had a great sense of humor and was always ready to pitch in where there was a need. Our Lodge has lost a true gem and she will never be forgotten. My sympathies to her family and friends during this time of sorrow. Rest in peace dear friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Dawn's passing. She was a beautiful,funny person and I enjoyed knowing her. We both attended Central High School. I had lunch with her on may occasions and shared a lot of craziness and fun times. Dawn,I will never forget our joke..."about Green & Blue Chunks". I know you are in Heaven,with a big smile,remembering how that is our personal joke to each other. You were a delight to know,and I am so glad we were friends. Rest In Peace,my dear friend.

She was great to deal with via emails that we had almost daily. She worked for Florilli and I worked at Truckomat. She was always so very helpful. I got to know about her just emailing each other about life and vacations etc. My prayers are with her family. God Bless you Dawn .
