This is such sad news. I too knew Dawn from the restaurant, and she greeted me every time like a long lost friend. It is hard to believe she is gone. I will miss her.

I got to know Dawn at Donut Villa as I stopped in here and there and she got to know my favorite donut and would bring the chocolate and coconut donut over to my counter seat...the last time I was at DV, it was Halloween and I dressed up as Willy Wonka...Dawn loved it and asked for a picture of me with her and a cohort took the picture...Dawn couldn´t wait to show her grandkids the picture.
I´ll miss Dawn´s infectious laughter and it was easy to push her buttons and the same from her.
Rest in peace.

Shawn, our condolences to you and your family. I met your Mom in high school and didn´t see her for many years later once you became friends with Mike. But the one thing that never changed and I will always remember is her beautiful smile and her contagious laugh! Keep her memories alive! God Bless Diane and Rich Silvio

I only knew Dawn from the Donut Villa. What a wonderful person. She had a way of making me feel like I knew her for years the few times I spoke with her. Hugs and prayers to her family

Dawn was one of the nicest around. I first met Dawn at Donut Villa several years back and with each visit she would greet Loretta, Marguerite and I with that great smile and personality that would make you laugh! She became an instant friend who we would look forward to seeing. She and Flyce would banter between themselves and make everyone laugh out loud. I am sure everyone in the Donut Villa Family will miss her very much. We love you Dawn - Rest In Peace.
