Dawn’s greatest joy in life was being with her family–laughing, playing games, crafting, or just simply being together. While raising three young children, she earned her teaching degree and was a beloved fifth grade teacher in Livonia for 28 years. Dawn was active in many local groups including the Livonia Community Players, Teresa House, the Livonia Methodist Church, and always busy being Social Director for her large group of wonderful friends whom she cherished. Dawn’s family would like to express their appreciation to this special group of people, and in particular to Marty Heuer for all the love, support and friendship she gave our mother.
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Monday, June 9th at 1pm at the United Methodist Church of Livonia, 21 Summers Street, Livonia. Pastor Dan Finch will be the celebrant. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Teresa House, 21 Highland Road, Geneseo, NY 14454 or the Livonia Community Players, PO Box 240, Livonia, NY 14487.

We were so sorry to learn of Dawn’s passing. When I think of Dawn…..I remember all the fun we had as kids. Always a good time when I visited my cousin. So much fun on that great swing, playing in the barn and also the cows and the sheep. Then, there were the many years that we wrote silly letters to each other. Her on the farm and me in the city. Sooo many fond memories. You always had that laugh, that made me laugh. Dawn, my fun cousin….you will be terribly missed. Love you.
Im so sorry to all of Dawn’s family and friends. She was a giving woman. She always had a smile on her face no matter what. She always told me hello and good bye when I came into the church. I would be coming in for breakfast and her service would be ending, so she would be on the way out. She was happiest when around her friends, church folks, and groups members. Peace be with her. I hope for peace to also be with her family and friends at this time. Good bye Dawn you will be missed, but not forgotten.
Dawn was a loving and joyful person, teacher, family member and friend. Her giving ways and love of life will most certainly be missed … but her example will live on the the hearts of all who knew her. Farewell, dear friend – rest in peace!
Dawn was such a great person! She will be missed by all who knew her. She was a good friend to my mom and a wonderful teacher too!
We are so sorry about Dawn’s death. She was such a wonderful person – mom, grandma, friend, teacher – the list can go on and on. She always had time to listen to anyone and was so calm no matter how much chaos was going on around her. She will be greatly missed.
