Dawn Marie Pearson

Dawn Marie (Staniak) Pearson of Green Bay, WI, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 11, 2025, with her family by her side after a courageous three-month battle with Glioblastoma Brain Cancer.
She was born on November 26, 1966, in Rock Island, Il, to Carol (Kersten) Staniak and the late Allen Staniak. Dawn graduated from Shiocton High School in 1985 and was employed at various places before deciding to work for Wesco Distribution where she worked for 28 years. She always went above and beyond when it came to her job.
She married James Pearson on July 1, 2000, in Green Bay, and she loved to golf, dabble in gourmet cooking, and play cribbage. She would play four games a day during the week and eight games during the weekends, all year long. We would always keep a score board of all the games. She always disliked when I would say, "I am the champ!" Her comeback would be, "I don't care, I just like to play." She was a whiz at trivia. No one could beat her and everyone always wanted her on their team. She always entertained at Green Bay Packer tailgates.
She is survived by her husband, James Pearson of Green Bay; a son, Charles Campbell (Jason Wetherbee); her mother, Carol Staniak; 4 sisters, Lynn (Steve) Ebaugh, Sue Staniak, Dianne (Michael) Drossart, and Barb (Todd) Steward; a brother, Dale Staniak; an aunt, Maureen Staniak; her mother-in-law, Karen Pearson; sisters-in-law, Debbie (John) Powell, Teri (Ted) Budek; her pet babies, Harper (Wiggle Butt) and Jewel (The Fuzzer); along with many nieces, nephews and cousins who loved her very much.
Dawn is preceded in death by her grandparents, Johanna and Clarence Fink and Edwin and Jane Kersten; uncles, Dick Staniak and Tom Kersten; aunt, Mary Kersten; and father-in-law, James Pearson, Sr.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the cancer team at Bellin Hospital, Unity Hospice, all the family members who helped her through this courageous battle, and friends Dennis and Mary Johnson
Visitation will be from 10:30 until 12 Noon on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at the Christ United Methodist Church in Crystal Falls, MI. A memorial service will follow at 12:00 PM at the church. Pastor Vicky Prewitt will officiate. Burial will take place in Evergreen Memorial Cemetery.
