Peacefully, with family by her side, on December 17, 2025. Beloved wife and best friend of the late Colin for 64 years, adored mother and mother-in-law of Kim (Melbourne) and Anne and Stephen (Bannockburn), much loved Nana of Chelsea and Rylan (Melbourne), Thomas (Melbourne), Tim and Emilia (Auckland), Joel and Jessica (Alexandra), and doting great grandmother of Jude, and Henry (Melbourne). At Dawn's request a private family graveside service has been held. Dawn has returned into Colin's arms just in time for a Christmas hug.
