I worked with Dawn at the Public Service Commission for many years. Dawn was a very valuable and hard working member of our team, and she was my 'right hand'. She was quick to give me a bear hug or a shoulder pat when she arrived to work in the mornings. Dawn always had a smile for me, and she loved to help in any way possible. Dawn will be truly missed, but never forgotten. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to her family. Dawn had a kind heart and a beautiful soul, may she rest forever in peace.

I worked with Dawn at the Public Service Commission since 2014. Almost every work day morning, she would visit me at my desk to see how I was doing and check to see if there was anything she could do to help me. We always chatted about the latest book she read; what TV shows and movies we liked; and what was going on in each others' lives. I will miss our conversations and her smile. I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr.Mrs Findley, we r so very sorry for your loss. We had the pleasure of knowing dawn for the last 11 years and it wasn't until we had kids did we really get to know her and became really good friends. Dawn loved our little guy Grayer so very much and most recently she was getting to know our newest addition Isley. We will miss her very much but will have very fond memories. Sending our love your way at this difficult time. David and krista

I am truly sorry for your loss. I've worked in the same department as Dawn for about six years; however, we were in different buildings. It was always a pleasure to bump into Dawn. She always had a smile on her face and was willing to do anything to help. She was my go-to person for many inquiries and I knew I could call her up and if she didn't know the answer, she would be able to point me in the right direction. She was such a sweet person and will be greatly missed.

I want to assure you that she will not be forgotten. She was a large part of our world. God bless you all - and my deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. Laura Lee Langley

To the dear family of Dawn, in particular her mom & dad, I was so sad to hear the news of Dawn's passing this week. I moved to Abrams Way with my family when I was 15 years old (am now 35) and met Dawn shortly after. She was always thoughtful and kind to my brothers and I and showed interest in our lives as we grew up. In more recent years, she attended my wedding and I know she was so happy to spend a little time with my three young daughters this spring, ages 5 years, 3 years and 6 months, particularly the new baby whom she was meeting for the first time. She brought a gift for the baby which she didn't have to do and I will now look at that and think of her and enjoyed helping my older girls with their coloring. I will also always remember her sense of humor (she loved to joke and tease my husband). She is gone too much young and my deepest sympathy is with all of you at this sad time. I remember Dawn talking of her parents in particular through the years and my heart go out to both of you at this time. I hope in time you find peace in your memories and know there are people keeping Dawn and all of you in their thoughts and prayers. May you rest in peace Dawn. You will not be forgotten. Love and hugs from the Skinners, Christina, Mark, Sophie, Emily & Sarah (and of course Gibson) Xxoo

Rene Frost posted a condolence
Dawn and I have been working at the Public Service Commission since she came in 1989. We have had lots of laughs, shared stores and many times we were a great support to each other. Mr.& Mrs. Findley, Dawn will be missed here at work. As you grieve the loss of Dawn, please remember it's the little things, the small everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles, the phone calls. Even though it seems like you can never recover from Dawn's passing it is these memories that will help ease the sorrow and bring back the smiles and warm your hearts. You and your family are in my prayers. Dawn's friend Rene Frost.

Mr. and Mrs. Findley: It broke my heart to hear of Dawn's passing. I've know Dawn for close to 10 years and she has always had a smile on her face and willing to help with anything you needed.

I believe this to be the obituary of the former Dawn Hann and if I am wrong I am so sorry to bother you and give you my sincere condolences on your loss! If it is the Dawn who was a member of the Captain William Spry Book Club for many, many years I want you to know that she was a valued member who loved our books and gave great opinions and input and jokes to every meeting, and we were so proud of her because her shy and quiet presence in the early years gave way over time to the confidence to share her bubbly personality and voice! If she is ""our Dawn".......please know that she will be missed and will not be forgotten, may God bless her soul!!!!!

Maureen Pope posted a condolence
I was very sad to read Dawn's obituary in yesterday's paper. I knew Dawn from our school days from middle school to High school. We actually were on a course not long ago through work, maybe 1 or 2 years ago and we sat next to each other catching up. It was a pleasure knowing Dawn. She was a very kind soul and always had a smile. My sincerest condolences to her family, co-workers and friends. May she rest in eternal peace. God Bless!

To Dawn's family, our most sincere condolences. The last time I saw Dawn, she was so funny. We were at Spryfield Physiotherapy together. We seemed to have the same appointment times and often bumped into each other. Let me say that she kept the physiotherapist in line and me in stitches. I am sure you will treasure your memories as you celebrate her life. Kindest regards,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Findley and Family It was very sad to hear of Dawn's passing. I worked with Dawn at the Public Service Commission and so many of us relied on Dawn's knowledge in many areas. I keep reflecting on moments and chats we had over the years that didn't seem so significant at the time, yet I am grateful now to have shared time, stories and smiles with her. I will keep her memories alive and keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
