Dawn's love for music and animals was a defining aspect of her life, bringing her joy and comfort throughout her years. However, it was her family that brought her the greatest happiness. She held a special affection for her granddaughter, Raegan Argirakis, with whom she shared countless cherished moments. Dawn's devotion to her family was evident in all that she did, as she nurtured deep connections with her loved ones.
She is survived by her daughter, Steveie Argirakis; granddaughter, Raegan Argirakis; sisters, Barbara Pasters and Bonnie Brettager; goddaughter Larissa Duncan, and uncle Ronald Basen; beloved aunt to Joey and Danny; and cousins, Rhonda Basen and Valerie Basen. A beloved daughter, she joins her mother, Donna Sidwell, in eternal rest.
A celebration of Dawn's life will be held at a later date, allowing family and friends to come together to honor her memory and the joy she brought into their lives. Dawn will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
