Dawn Edlen Obituary
She lived her life making others happy. She was kind, sweet and funny. She could light up the room with her laughter. She worked as a manager for most of her adult life.
She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, doing diamond paintings, sitting outside with her dog, talking with friends and family, and watching the birds.
She was a two time cancer survivor, DMACC graduate, and a wonderful mother and grandmother. She loved country music and football. She was great company and the life of the party at any event.
Dawn was selfless and would have given the shirt off her back to anyone who needed it. She had a beautiful soul and spread it as far as she possibly could.
Dawn joined her husband, Jim. She is outlived by her children: Kenneth, Austin, Rya, Tony, Max, and Chelsie; grandchildren: Kenneth Jr., Audrianna, and Lexie; and many friends and loving family members.
