Dawn Marie Anhorn

Dawn Marie Anhorn (Pranger) passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025, in Tigard, Oregon, at the age of 53. Born and raised in Corvallis, Dawn graduated from McMinnville High School before going on to study Marketing and Management at Portland State University. Though she grew up in Beaver country, Dawn proudly cheered for the Oregon Ducks.

Dawn excelled in many environments focusing on marketing and sales but her passion was working with homes. Dawn had an extraordinary eye for design and a gift for creating beauty wherever she went. She founded her own home staging business, where she combined artistry and intuition to transform houses into welcoming spaces. Her creativity turned ordinary rooms into reflections of comfort and style, leaving a lasting impression on all who experienced her work.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Dawn was most cherished for her spirit and heart. She radiated grace and kindness, and she had an innate way of making people feel seen, cared for, and valued. Her joy was contagious, her empathy boundless, and her compassion genuine. Dawn's love for her family was unconditional and unwavering. She gave her love without judgment or restraint, and her legacy will continue to live on in those who were blessed to know her.

Dawn is survived by her husband Gene Anhorn; children Bo and Chelsea Anhorn; her mother Linda Pranger. She is also survived by her brothers Darryl Pranger (Kathy) and Eugene Pranger (Laura), along with her many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Pranger.

A celebration of Dawn's life will be held in her honor on Friday, September 26, 2025, from 2:00–4:00 p.m. at Ickabod's in Beaverton, Oregon. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to your local animal shelter, reflecting Dawn's compassion and love for animals. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those whose lives she touched.
