Dawn Marie Diener

Mark and Family, We are saddened to hear of Dawn´s passing. What a courageous battle she fought and example she set, leaving a legacy for us all to continue fighting the good fight of faith. We wish many blessings on all today and in the days ahead, as we grieve her loss, but acknowledge Heaven´s gain as she joins the great cloud of witnesses. Curt and Cindy Flaharty

I know the passing of Dawn changes your family as she loved all of you, but the memories are many. She was always smiling, and her faith journey was amazing. She was vibrant and full of life. Even the continuing journey in life will not be easy for each of you without you, she will be with you in spirit. Praying for your guidance, peace and strength.

When I think of my 38 year friendship with Dawn the adjectives that come to mind to describe her are...strong, resilient, bold, inspirational, dynamic, competent, organized, compassionate, and nurturing. Yet the ones that stand out the most were her prayer warrior spirit and her faith filled sharing of God´s gift of salvation and eternal life. I will strive to be as bold as she was in sharing my faith. What an inspiration to us all!
I will miss her sage wisdom, her heartfelt prayers, and her handwritten thank you notes. I will cherish nature and beautiful sunrises in memory of my precious friend.
My heart is heavy for Mark and her amazing girls but rejoice that she is pain free and being honored in heaven for her work on this earth.

Our hearts are broken, but our lives have been forever changed having had Dawn come into them.
While it was only a few years ago, during her biggest battles, she inspired us, blessed us and reminded us of how we are to go through life here.
Her absolute joy in simply having her feet in the sand was a reminder to walk through every moment with hope, while resting in God's care, surrounded by the gifts of His creation.
The Light that radiated from Dawn was a constant reminder of Christ's care for her in providing a light to her path, and it became a beautiful light in our lives.
Dawn's unwavering faith in His Light and His Love was nothing shy of amazing and will live on in our hearts forever
Forever changed, forever grateful.....

I´m so very sad to hear this, but look forward to seeing her again one day! She truly glorified the Lord with her life and was so very proud of you girls. She will be greatly, greatly missed.

I had the privilege of working with Dawn for a brief time at Women and Babies Hospital. It was lovely knowing her. I am ever grateful that she touched my life.

I knew Dawn as a loving mother and thoughtful friend. Our hearts are broken to hear she is no longer on this earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time. Much love, Fitzgerald Family xo

I didn´t know Dawn very well with the exception of texts here and there, but I know that she was well-loved. My heart breaks for you, Mark. You did your very best to love and care for Dawn. Matthew 11:28

My mom fiercely fought until the end. I can only hope to emulate her strength and grace as I navigate forward. Thank you everyone for the outpouring of love.

Dawn brought so much love to our sessions at the YMCA- sharing inspiration, love, joy, presence, and her glowing Self. Her aura felt full and nourishing. Having the privilege of knowing her, I hope to share that beam she was able to share with everyone in a room with her. Sending love to her family and friends and gratitude for the time I was able to learn and be inspired by Dawn.

Such a special mother daughter moment that I am glad I could be a part of

I worked many years in the NICU with Dawn. In fact, she was my preceptor! I am still working there (33years) in part due to her love and passion for the babies which she passed on to me. Marissa and Mikayla, you are the same ages as my kids and we had many play dates with you when you were little.
Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Aunt DD was always so beautiful inside and out. To all of the family holidays, pool parties, birthdays, camping. So so many good memories. I continue to replay them in my head to keep her spirit high. Rock on in heaven my sweet aunt
