Dawna moved to Kamloops in 1976 with her children and made it her lifelong home.

Dawna worked in the service industry for a short time but her real career was as a loving mother of 3 children and caregiver to many foster children and many others. She was a volunteer with the Royal Inland Thrift Store and loved to shop for vintage trinkets. Bingo was her favorite game and collecting salt n pepper shakers as a hobby.

The family sends heartfelt thanks to all the care-aids, nurses and doctors whom took great care of mum over the years. Bless you all. Dawna chose to not have a service, but for all who knew her, to remember her smile, her fire cracker personality and her strength. Rest in Peace Mumma.
