Dawn Marie Johnston

Dawn Marie Johnston, a beacon of warmth and kindness, left this world on March 16, 2025, peacefully in her sleep at home, surrounded by her cherished family. Born on August 21, 1968, Dawn was known for her unwavering joy and compassion. She had a remarkable ability to light up any room with her radiant smile and infectious laughter. Her happiness was a gift she shared generously with everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Dawn's love for her family was profound, centered around her daughters Krystal (Kassidi Burkeen) Arzadon and her cherished grandchildren, Helen and Emma, who brought her immeasurable joy. She also embraced her role as a loving stepmother to Keith and Kevin Johnston, providing them with unwavering support and kindness. Dawn often expressed her pride in her family's accomplishments and cherished every moment spent together.

Her parents, Richard (Dena) Arzadon and Janice Arzadon, instilled in her the values of compassion and kindness, traits that she carried into her adult life and imparted to her children. Dawn had two sisters, Kim Zolotcov and Carolyn Giordano, who were her confidantes and lifelong friends. They shared countless memories filled with laughter and love, supporting each other through every stage of life.

Dawn's heart carried the weight of loss with the passing of her brother, Mark Arzadon, who predeceased her. His absence was a deeply felt sorrow, yet she honored his memory in her heart and spoke of him with love and fond remembrance.

The legacy of Dawn’s kindness and her unwavering spirit will forever remain in the lives of those she touched. Her warmth, vivacity, and compassionate nature will continue to inspire all who were fortunate to know her. In every smile shared, in every story told, and in every loving memory cherished, Dawn Marie Johnston will live on, her spirit forever a guiding light in the hearts of her beloved family and friends.
