Dawn Riebel Obituary
Dawn was born in Travis County Texas in 1957 to Robert and Charlotte Pacecca. Dawn spent much of her life working in and exploring nature. She created her own little "secret garden" in the woods behind her villa. Dawn spent much of her time gardening and outside. Even more than her love for nature was her love of her Savior Jesus Christ. Dawn had a strong faith and loved listening to Christian music as well as attending and serving at her church.
Dawn is survived by her husband Walter Riebel, her daughter Shari, sister Lori, brother Robert and grandson Declan. Dawn also had a brother Michael who pre-deceased her. They were inseparable.
Dawn's memorial service will held at Sun Coast Baptist Church, 4726 State Road 54, New Port Richey FL. 34652 on Tuesday January 6th at 1:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served afterwards. Donations to Sun Coast Baptist Church or a charity of your choice in memory of Dawn would be greatly appreciated.
Dawn will be missed by everyone that knew her.

Dawn was such a blessing to our family. The love she felt for her family members was unconditional! She was such a bright light in this world. I always knew that she would do anything she could to help her family members. I am eternally grateful that she was part of the Hawkins / Doyel family. I will miss her dearly but know that she is in Heaven with her beloved!

Dawn was the strongest person I know. She fought her whole life to stay healthy. I don't think she ever knew how much she was loved. Jan (her sister-in-law)

Times were tough growing up for my mother and father as a family of 6. Two boys and two girls. We lived in a two bedroom house. The girls in one room, the boys in the other bedroom. My mother and father slept on a bed in the living room. Despite the small house. As kids growing up we were well taken care of. The vacations were amazing. Camping, hiking, cook outs at the beach and so much more. Life was good. My sister loved to take care of me like I was her little baby doll. As we got older. We enjoyed bike rides to our favorite park. She would put a blanket down so we could lay on it and look up at the clouds. So many memories we had. I will miss you big sister. Love always Lori
