On Sunday evening, September 7th, Doug Vaccarella and his family suffered an unimaginable loss. His beloved wife, Dawn—a devoted mother, cherished daughter, sister, and a true pillar of the community—was tragically taken far too soon.

Dawn’s life was built on love, kindness, and service to others. She poured her heart into her family—her husband and their two beautiful children—while also touching countless lives in the community. Whether through her friendships, her involvement in church, school, and local organizations, or simply her warm and giving spirit, Dawn made the world brighter everywhere she went.

Now, Doug and the children are faced with the heartbreaking challenge of moving forward without her. Along with the deep emotional pain, they must also face the heavy burdens that come with sudden loss—most of all, finding the strength and resources to support two children through this unimaginable time.

We are coming together to honor Dawn’s memory and lift up the family she loved so dearly. All funds raised will go directly to Doug and the children to help cover immediate expenses and provide stability as they navigate life without their beloved wife and mother.

Dawn gave so much of herself to others—now it is our turn to give back in her memory. Any donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers as they face the difficult days ahead.

Thank you for your support, love, and kindness during this time of immense loss.
