Dawn graduated from Millikin University with a bachelor’s degree in Education. She pursued a teaching career for many years in Illinois. She enjoyed teaching 2nd grade.
She loved all holidays, Christmas being her favorite and enjoyed making gifts for family and friends. Her craft hobbies included paper quilling, crocheting, painting, sewing, and quilting.
Her most favorite being a crocheted bunny for her granddaughter Kaylee. She loved to go antique shopping with family and friends in search of treasures.
She enjoyed greenhouse shopping with her sister-in-law Phyllis.
Dawn was one of the biggest Chicago Bear fans around. She didn’t care if they won or lost, she enjoyed watching the game and screaming at the TV either way.
Through her 53 years of marriage to Duke, they adventured and built many homes together. Always side by side laying brick, building walls, electrical, and plumbing. Their teamwork as a married couple inspired her children and many others. The love she had for her husband, daughters, sons-in-law, and granddaughter will not end but live forever. Dawn ensured her family was well taken care of. She enjoyed having weekly family dinners and gatherings at special Holidays. She enjoyed having her family around laughing, telling stories, and creating new memories.
