Dawn leaves behind her daughter Chere Sullivan and son-in-law Neil of Redding, son Jake Anderson and daughter-in-law Jamie of Chico, brother Gary and sister-in-law Brenda, nieces Kristal and Ashley (Scott), nephew Brett, great-niece Alexandra and three beloved grandchildren Jabaree, Ethan and Hannah.

She relished life, enjoyed many hobbies including numerous travels domestic and abroad, snow skiing, house boating, camping, gardening and riding Harley Davidson's. She was active in both Redding and Chico chapters of H.O.G's.
The family wishes to express immense gratitude to Sharon Daza; lifelong friend, Mike Denslow and Deanna Alskey-Irwin for their unconditional loving care and companionship to Dawn during her extended illness. Her time here was short, yet vivacious and her memory a treasure to those that loved her.
"The angles are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hands of GOD."

To Dawns Family- I worked with Dawn for years at RMC and in home health.We also attended Little Country church together.I appreciated so much about her-her kindness, her smile, and her love for her family,friends and her patients. I know she is with our Lord Jesus rejoicing, and totally free of pain. She is in our hearts for ever. I am blessed to have shared time with her in this life.

I will treasure precious memories of times we shared in the Redding Harley Owners Group, your compassion for others and passion for life was remarkable. Jesus went on to prepare a place for us and I believe it is absolutely perfect. You deserve perfect eternity.
