Dawn Cesaretti Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Richard F. Thomas- Robert W. Little Funeral Service Inc. - McDonald on Mar. 13, 2026.
Dawn Marie Bollinger Cesaretti, 57, of Sturgeon, South Fayette passed away suddenly on Thursday, March 12, 2026.

Dawn was born on February 13, 1969 in Hampton, Virginia, a daughter of Bill Bollinger and the late Nancy Sexton.

Dawn was currently working at South Fayette Middle School in the lunch room. Her full-time gig was grooming dogs. Dawn was the sole owner of Dawn's TLC for Pets for over 30 years. She served over 300 dog families and loved every second of it. Dawn was surely a dog lover and had dogs of her own that she treated like they were her kids and boy were they spoiled. Outside of dog grooming, Dawn enjoyed keeping her hands busy with arts and crafts. She also had a unique passion for stained glass.

Above all, Dawn loved her family. She was a proud wife, mother and "GiGi". As her family grew her heart certainly did as well. She loved being a gigi to her grandchildren and enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren grow.

Surviving is her loving husband of 10 years, Brian Delaney, children, Vince (Leah) Cesaretti, Nicholas (Kimmie) Delaney, Timothy (Hannah) Delaney and Connor Delaney, grandchildren, Olivia and Alex Cesaretti and Lincoln, Lia and Parker Delaney, aunt, Mary Sexton Sands, uncle, Marvin Sexton Jr., father-in-law, Hector (late Debra) Delaney, along with many other in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Friends and family will be received on Wednesday, March 18, 2026 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Thomas-Little Funeral Service, Inc., 314 W. Lincoln Ave., McDonald (724-926-2800). A Service will be held on Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 10 a.m. in the funeral home.
