Suddenly at the Brantford General Hospital, Dawn began her journey to the Creator. She leaves behind her beloved family and friends. Married to the love of her life, Yogi for 42 amazing years, and will forever be his “Baby”, as well as her four beautiful children and all nine of her grandchildren, amongst numerous people who she loved them them all just like they were her very own family, friends and love are all things meant the most to her.
Dawn leaves behind her legacy of unconditional love to those who knew her and to those who had the honor to love her. She loved life to the fullest and was a “go hard or go home” kind of gal. Active in sports all her life, she loved to play and compete just about everything and anything from ball hockey, broom ball, lacrosse, pool, bowling, and she had a love of playing dice and cards, and of course her love for baseball, especially her “Rockers” & “Redstix”. Most of all she loved the life long friends and family she made along the way. Always Yogi’s biggest fan, her kids and grandkids, cheering the loudest and honking the horn the most. Known by so many kids who have touched her heart driving school bus for Martins Coachline for 10 years, loved working at “TNT” Fast Foods as well as “The Old Down Home Cafe” known as “Dawn Waun” by all her girls there. She then made the move to “GRE” and worked hard on the line there. After many years She then decided she wanted to be her own BOSS! She made a move, she found an idea and rolled the dice opening up “The Coffee Hut” and a place to call it home at the Skylite Plaza. A lot of ups and downs. She never gave up on her dream, winning awards in customer service, definitely spoke volumes. Always greeting everyone with a smile and a nice hot cup of her famous coffee. There she was 19 years later meeting so many more people, sharing so many laughs with her daughter over the years at the Coffee Hut, a lot of early mornings spent together and even more chats about life all day everyday. Her customers whom she loved dearly and with her whole heart, you will always leave a special place in her heart. Dawn courageously fought cancer and won the battle in September 2022. From day one, Dawn never let cancer define her and the amazing woman that she was, continued to be the loving wife, mother, and Omma that she always was. We will always remember her this way.
