She would get on the floor and play with our dogs and you could feel the love radiate from her. She will be greatly missed. Our condolences to her husband George and daughter Aurora. May you always feel her love and joy in your hearts.

  2. Dawn was loved by everyone. Her giggles and constant joy were contagious! I loved working with her and will miss her in this office. It was too quick to lose her. I pray for George and Aurora that their grief would be soon turned to the sweet memories they shared with her and the joy that they will see her again. God’s blessings of immeasurable peace and love during this time.

  3. Oh Dawn …. The memories we shared. Triway Jr High was never the same. Wooster Skateland was never the same! We lived at each others houses on the weekends … finished each other’s sentences. We shared the best secrets!

    To her family: Dawn was ALWAYS the girl with the smile who could make everything better. She knew how to joke and how to be the BEST FRIEND! My condolences to you all. She will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

  6. I had the honor of working with Dawn during her time as a volunteer at the Girl Scouts of North East Ohio. Dawn and I spent many hours of the 2020 quarantine on the phone. I loved hearing her talk about her passion for Girl Scouts and her family. Dawn made an impact not only on the girls in her troop, but everyone who knew her. My heart hurts for her husband and daughter today. May all the memories of her love and kindness bring them comfort during this time.
