Dawn was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, wife and cat lover. She was never one to forget to send a birthday card to her family. She was a devoted wife to her husband James to the end, lovingly caring for him while he was alive and insisting on staying in Little Rock, Arkansas away from family to be close to his grave, spending the last sixteen years regularly visiting the site and placing flowers there. She was a graduate of Tidehaven High School and attended Wharton County Junior College. She was a faithful employee of Kroger and after thirty-seven years of dedicated service, she was able to retire and spend her remaining years enjoying her collections and her cat. Her hobbies included cooking, spending time with her cat and collecting recipe books, cat things and teddy bears.
