Dawn had a passion for life that was contagious. She found happiness in the simple pleasures, from casting her line into the tranquil waters, to the artistry of crafting and painting. Her creativity knew no bounds, and she poured her heart into every project she undertook.

One of her greatest joys was spoiling her grandchildren. She delighted in their laughter, treasured their hugs, and was thrilled in the opportunity to share her passions with them. Whether it was teaching them to bait a hook or guiding their paintbrushes across a canvas, she cherished every moment spent with her beloved grandchildren.

An unwavering devotion to the Cleveland Browns was a defining aspect of Dawn's life. Through victories and defeats, she stood by her team with unyielding loyalty, a true fan through and through. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she brought a sense of camaraderie to every game day gathering.
