Dawn had a love for the outdoors. She was fortunate to grow up on Muskoka Lake and the love for the water continued throughout her life. She was a huge supporter of her family attending many theatre productions and sporting events. She spent many hours helping with events for the Orillia Shrine Club along side her husband Glenn. She was known as the “mom” of Forest Home looking after many of the kids the neighbourhood while raising her own.
