She worked at Parasson’s at the age 17 where she started her passion for the food industry. From there that led her to a career of 20+ years as a Chef Manger for Compass Group. Dawn was known for being the life of the party, the master of pranks, but most of all the one you could come to for anything. She would bend over backwards to help anyone and give the shirt off her back, even after she got sick, that didn’t stop her. She was the strongest woman you had ever met.
