Dawn married Jay Coburn on September 24, 1983 at First Lutheran Church in Blair, WI. They celebrated 41 years of marriage.

Dawn enjoyed all things outdoors. She could often be found weeding in her flower beds, and vegetable garden. She loved mowing lawn and sitting on the back patio with Jay in the evenings, listening to the brewer games with a peaceful campfire. She loved music, and never cleaned without having the stereo playing her favorites. Most recently, Dawn loved going for long ATV rides with family and friends to enjoy the fall colors. She and Jay were blessed with two children, Jacqueline and Neil and enjoyed attending all of their events. She was active in Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Whitehall and served as church treasurer and a Sunday school teacher also. Dawn always had a smile on her face and a positive, infectious attitude to share. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is, and will always be, "What Awesome Looks Like".
