Hi my name is Dajiane also known as “DAE” and I’m the daughter of Dawn Beard, A loving mother, daughter, grandmother and a true warrior. Dawn was the kind of person who would give without hesitation, even to those she didn’t know. Her heart was full of love, compassion, and generosity. She showed up for others in every way she could, not because she had to but because that’s just who she was.Dawn was full of life — vibrant, funny, strong, and incredibly hard-working. She had a heart of gold and a spirit that lit up any room she walked into. Whether you were family, a friend, or even a stranger, she would go out of her way to help you. That’s just who she was — a giver, a fighter, and a source of love and light for everyone who knew her.

Dawn was taken from us far too soon. She was only 46 — young, driven, and still pushing toward her goals. She had so much more life to live and so many dreams she was working hard to achieve. Her passing has left our family heartbroken and unprepared for the weight of funeral costs and final arrangements.

We are raising funds to give Dawn the beautiful homegoing celebration she truly deserves. Our goal is to raise at least $8,000 to cover funeral expenses and related costs. Every donation — no matter how big or small — is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward honoring her memory the right way.

If you cannot give, please consider sharing this with others. We thank you in advance for your kindness, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Dajiane (“Dae”) and Family
