Dawn Patricia Bryden

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dawn at St. Joseph's Villa, Dundas, on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, in her 87th year. Dawn was predeceased by her husband Gilbert McCulloch Bryden (1989), and her parents, Earlton (1983) and Audrey Campbell (1998); Survived by her siblings: E. Wayne Campbell (Tina), Nova G. Whiteman (Gordon), and Noel A. Campbell (Pamela); her nephews and nieces: Todd Whiteman, Cheryl Whiteman, Jon Campbell, Alison McLeod, Scott Campbell, and Darin Campbell. Dawn is also survived by her stepdaughter Leslie Bryden, and Leslie's daughter, Janine Curto, and their family here in Canada and Scotland. Dawn was born October 31, 1934, in St. Thomas, Ontario and grew up in Hamilton, Ontario. She attended McMaster University for her B.A. and McGill University for her library science degree. Dawn's career took her from Hamilton to Dundas (via Oakville) where she was Head Librarian until her retirement in November 1995. Dawn and Gilbert enjoyed many winter vacations in Florida, which Dawn continued to do after her retirement. We are very thankful for the care and attention Dawn received from the staff of Primrose Lane who treated her with so much compassion. In accordance with her wishes, Dawn has been cremated and due to Covid 19 restrictions, there will be a private family memorial at Bay Gardens Funeral Home followed by an interment of her ashes at Bayview.
