Dawn had lived a full life with traveling in their motorhome, cruising, tending to her garden and flowers, extensive doll collection and loved anything purple. Dawn was a strong supporter of Veterans and enjoyed being around and helping raise money for Veteran events. One of her longest loves was Elvis Presley and his music. She had worked at the Oregon State University in Chemical Engineering, Computer Center and other Administration roles on campus. Dawn had an exquisite sense of humor. A life well lived...
