Dawn Marie Reiner, a radiant spirit passed on November 19, 2025. Born on May 13, 1949, in Flint, Michigan, Dawn blossomed into a dynamic individual whose fiery personality and zest for life left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
For over two decades, Dawn dedicated herself to the art of jewelry-making, crafting unique pieces that not only exhibited her remarkable talent but also conveyed her profound passion for gemology. Even after her retirement, her love for this craft remained unwavering, serving as a testament to her enduring commitment to beauty and creativity. Each piece she created was more than mere ornament; they were expressions of her soul, reflections of her life's journey and her unwavering strength as a fighter.
Dawn was not just a master of her craft; she was also a devoted member of Word of Life Grand Ledge, embodying her love for God and His word. Her faith was integral to her identity, guiding her actions and inspiring those fortunate enough to cross her path. She was a steadfast listener, always ready to lend an ear and share her kindness with all.
Beyond her artistic endeavors and spiritual devotion, Dawn cherished her family. She was beloved by her son, Anton Reiner, and his wife, Michelle, who found in her a source of unwavering support and affection. Dawn’s legacy continues through her six siblings, seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, who will carry forth the love and lessons she imparted throughout her vibrant life. Each moment she spent with her grandchildren was a treasure, filled with laughter, joy, and memories that will forever resonate in their hearts.
Her loyal Pitbulls were also a beloved part of her life, reflecting the warmth and loyalty that characterized her own relationships. Dawn's home was not merely a dwelling; it was a sanctuary of love, where family gatherings sparkled with laughter and the richness of shared experiences.
As we remember Dawn Marie Reiner, let us celebrate her achievements and her unwavering faith but also the warmth of her spirit and the passion she ignited in the lives of those around her. May her memory be a source of inspiration and may her legacy of love endure through the generations she cherished so dearly.
