Dawn was born a Cheesehead on January 20, 1949 in Beloit Wisconsin to Darlo D. and Elizabeth (Bleile) Daly. Residing in Clinton since the age of 2 she attended Clinton public schools. Dawn was a HUGE fan of Supernatural, The Monkees, Alice Cooper, and Lynyrd Skynrd. Her favorite hobbies included tending to her flower garden and making it a safe haven for the hummingbirds she so enjoyed, baking goodies for her family, counted cross stitch, DIY projects, playing the slots at the casino, genealogy, and taking road trips whenever the mood struck her Hippie soul.
Dawn is survived by her 3 children; a son, Jacen Pease of Clinton; daughters, Jessica Pease (Eric Vogel) of Camanche and Stephanie Edfors (Austin Musel) of Clinton; 6 wonderful grandchildren who she dearly loved; Austin Pease, Brayden (Morgan) Malone, Zachariah Morgart, Adalyn Trickel, and Jordan and Oakley Lewison; a brother, Dean Daly of Norcross, GA; a nephew, Ryan Daly; a niece, Amber Smith; aunts, an uncle and many cousins. Also left to honor her memory are many friends, most importantly, her longtime friend and confidant, Big Brother, David Hart.
She was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents; a sister, Debra Russo (Daly); cousins Charlie and Charlie Rae Clark, Jerry Nienkark, and her lifelong eternal best friend and soul mate, Jolene Boehmer Heinen, who’s been waiting in the next dimension since 2017 to begin their next chapter together.
