Dawn M. Eisenberger, 81

January 11, 2026

Dawn M. Eisenberger, 81, of Manheim, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at her residence.

Born in Lancaster, she was a daughter of the late Spencer and Ruth E. (Habecker) Brubaker.

Dawn was employed at Hershey Medical Center for 30 years then assisted part time at Pleasant View Retirement Community for 5 years. She was a lifelong member of Salem United Methodist Church, where she taught preschool children in Sunday school.

Outside of work and her church, Dawn enjoyed listening to "oldies" music, especially from the 60s. She was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. She also enjoyed meeting regularly with high school friends for lunch.

Dawn was a devoted and loving mother and perhaps an even more devoted grandmother and great grandmother. She truly enjoyed her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be greatly missed as she enters the loving arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Surviving Dawn is her daughter, Sheri Swope (Garry), of Manheim; her grandsons, Anthony "Tony" Ferrari (Sara), of Henderson, TN; Vince "Vinny" Ferrari (Sarah), of Manheim; and her great grandchildren, Nora, Esmé, Leia, and Enzo. She was preceded in death by her son, E. Neil Eisenberger, in 1996.

Relatives and friends will be received by her family on Saturday, January 17, 2026, after 10:00 am in Salem United Methodist Church, 140 N. Penn Street, Manheim, where her funeral service will follow at 11:00 am. Interment will be held privately for the family.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Dawn may be made to the Humane Society of Lancaster, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA 17602.
