Facility, surrounded by her loving family.
She is survived
by her siblings, Blanche (Jim) Trainham of Lowville; Charles (Rosemary)

Dawn was born on

Harriet B. Datoush LaVancha and graduated from
Harrisville Central School. She
worked at the ARC workshop, attended daycare at Lewis County General
Hospital, and attended Day Hab at the ARC.
Dawn enjoyed
going on outings with the DPAO and bowled on the Monday night Special Needs
League. She enjoyed coloring, doing
crafts, listening to music, and watching movies, especially Grease. Dawn blessed many people in her life, she
was a ray of sunshine. Dawn was
aware of people’s feelings and was very compassionate. She and her friends, Ricky Harwood and
Alex Cohen would get up at church and sing a “special” for her church
family. Dawn and friends would sing “Jesus
Loves Me” and Dawn would sign the song in sign language. She fondly remembered her parents being in
heaven and would join them someday, but not today.
