Dawn Marie Johnson, age 60, of Kimberly, passed away following a brief illness at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton.  She was born to the late Robert and Donna (Strobel) Johnson on March 14, 1962, in Appleton.  Dawn worked for many years as a Special Education Teacher at Keshena Primary School.  Dawn loved spending time with her family, especially her nieces, nephew, great nieces, and great nephew. Every Saturday Dawn would get together with her cousins and enjoy lunch.  She was overly kind to everyone she met.  Dawn spent a portion of her life caring for her ill mother.  Most of all, she was a very dedicated teacher and loved caring for her students.

Dawn is survived by her sister Lisa (Dean) Domingos; her nieces Danielle (Stefanie) Rice and Joelle (Josh) Hesse; her nephew Derek Domingos; her great-nieces Vivian and Sophia Hesse; her great-nephew Quintin Rice; her cats Bob and Callie; and other relatives and friends.  She was preceded in death by her parents.

A special acknowledgement to her friends throughout the 35 years at Keshena Primary School who were more like family.

The loss of Dawn has devastated our family and all the lives she has touched. She will be missed and remembered daily, forever.
