Dawn Clonts Obituary
In Loving Memory of Dawn
January 16, 1979 - June 14, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dawn Lynea Dider Clonts, age 46, on June 14, 2025, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.
Dawn was a devoted wife, a loving mother to her 11-year-old son, Alex, a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Her strength, grace, and unwavering faith carried her and those around her through the hardest days. Even in the face of immense pain, Dawn's warmth, humor, and beautiful spirit remained a light to all who knew her.
Born in Goshen, Indiana, Dawn spent her life deeply connected to her family. She had a heart for others-always quick to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or simply be present in someone's time of need. Her love for life was evident in everything she did, from the way she cared for her family to the joy she found in small, everyday moments.
She was preceded in death by her father, Martin A. Dider and is survived by her devoted husband, Brian; her son, Alex; her mother, Edna Geraldine Dider; her sister, Sonya Dillard; brother Martin A. Dider II, niece Krista Rae Dawn Dillard, and a host of family and friends who will forever miss her radiant presence.
Dawn's life will be celebrated at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, June 20th at the Collegedale SDA Cemetery, with visitation on Thursday, June 19th at Companion Funeral Home in Cleveland, Tennessee beginning at 5:00 PM. All who loved her are welcome to attend and honor her memory.
Though she is no longer with us, Dawn's legacy of love, courage, and compassion will continue to inspire and live on in each of us.
You are invited to share a personal memory of Dawn or your condolences with her family at her online memorial located at www.companionfunerals.com. Companion Funeral Home of Cleveland and the Cody family are honored to assist the family with these arrangements.
