Dawn passed peacefully in her home on May 17, 2022 while comforted by her family. Dawn will be deeply missed by her partner of 11 years, Chuck Skitch and her daughter Bailey Forfar as well as Chuck’s children Jason (Michelle), and Nicole (Johnny) and grandchildren Jayden, P.J., Elliot, and Charlie. She will be missed by her loving siblings Sharon (Pierre) and Bob (Bev). Pre-deceased by her sister and brother -in-law, Joan (Ron). Dawn will be forever remembered by her nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.
Dawn touched the lives of so many and created long lasting relationships with those that she worked with over a 42-year career with TD Bank, a special milestone she was proud of.
Dawn’s heart was vast and open to all. She sponsored her little ones with World Vision and always worried about their welfare. She was a volunteer driver with Chats and Community Care where she cared greatly for those she helped, listening to their stories and often remaining friends.
Most of all, Dawn was an animal lover. She followed and supported many rescue sites and was proud of the effort others put into caring for their fur families. She was a volunteer driver with Golden Rescue, transporting rescue pups to their forever homes and she loved them all.
As per Dawn's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life in Memory of Dawn will be announced later. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Golden Rescue or a charity of your choice.
