Dawn Marie Keough
October 6, 1964 – October 12, 2023 (59 years)
Dawn passed away peacefully at home with her husband of 39 years Chris and daughter Sarah holding her hands. Her life is celebrated by her father Peter Miller, mother Beverly Miller (Krafcheck), brothers Michael (Sandi) and Scott (Catherine), and many other family members and dear friends. She will be especially missed by her family at Bread of Life Church in Dousman.
Dawn loved her gardens and her quirky fun outdoor decorations, and game night and cards with family were her favorite activities. She and Chris loved and collected Victorian antiques, and she was an expert in early American pattern glass. Her work as a graphic designer allowed her to express a very creative side. She also loved and found tremendous joy in her dachshund, Hildegard.
The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to all our fantastic Franklin Street neighbors – especially Sherry. We would also like to thank her employer of 24 years, Shoreland, Inc., for their support and understanding through her difficult illness, and the wonderful people at the Cancer Center in Oconomowoc.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by The Most Rev. Michael Davidson, Bishop of the Central Diocese of the Charismatic Episcopal Church. The Mass will be at 2:00 p.m. Friday, October 20, 2023 at Nashotah House Seminary (Adams Hall), 2777 Mission Road in Delafield, WI. Graveside committal at Nashotah House Cemetery and a reception in Adams Hall will follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bread of Life Church, 214 Grove Street, Dousman, WI 53118, or to CEC for Life, 50 St. Thomas Place, Malverne, NY 11565.
