Dawn Riggan Obituary

Visit the Bucktrout of Williamsburg Funeral Service website to view the full obituary.
Dawn lived her life with a quiet strength and a gentle spirit that touched everyone around her. She had a deep love for travel and a heartfelt appreciation for the beauty of creation. As a tour bus driver, she cherished the opportunity to see the world's landscapes up close-the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, the peaceful curves of the Blue Ridge, and the calming shores of Virginia Beach. Being on the road wasn't just work for her; it was a way to experience the world Jehovah made and to share those moments of wonder with others.

At home, Dawn's creativity blossomed. She had a gift for bringing things to life with her hands-gardening, sewing, crafting, and puzzles were her peaceful escapes, and she loved sharing her beliefs with family and friends. Her kindness showed up in countless small ways: a handmade gift, a thoughtful gesture, a willingness to help anyone who needed her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Ellen Riggan, her brother Robert Riggan II, and her sister Danita Riggan. She leaves behind her children-Michael R. Krebs, Daniel Allen, Julianne Carter, and Amber Goodman-who will forever carry her love with them. Dawn also leaves cherished grandchildren, extended family, and dear friends who will miss her warmth and steady presence.

Dawn will be remembered for her generosity, her creativity, her gentle humor, and the unwavering love she had for others. Her memory lives on in the stories she shared, the beauty she created, and the hearts she shaped.
