So sorry to hear of Dawn’s passing. We went to school together and she sat behind me in several classes throughout high school. She was the kindest, sweetest and most genuine person I have ever known. May she rest in peace and prayers for all.

So sorry to hear of Dawn’s passing. I worked at OVMC in the lab. She was such a warm sweet person with a beautiful smile. May God wrap his loving arms around you in this sad time
I worked with Dawn on 4 south at the Ohio Valley Medical center. She was a great nurse, friend and team leader. She was always pleasant and smiling. We could hardly believe it when she was diagnosed with ME. Rest in peace my friend. My sympathies to her family, especially Dixie Durig Ellwood. Sharon Marshall, RN from Hampstead NC.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry to hear about Dawn. I graduated from nursing school with Dawn. My first encounter with her tho, occurred as I was walking past the talking Christmas tree at Good’s and she said hello to me by name. And she kept that a secret for quite some time. She was a beautiful person and I am so sorry for your loss
