She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Michelle Dawn Gervasio, sisters Claudia and Valerie, brother Allen, and niece Jennifer. Dawn was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother.
She loved with her whole heart. Her love for animals was incomparable, especially her pugs, along with her love of slot machines and her night time TV programs. No one enjoyed penny slots and murder mystery as much as she did. She is survived by her greatest love and husband Andrew Bates.
Her amazing son Randy Gervasio and his family, wife Jamie and sons Jake and Tucker. She will be missed by brother-in-laws Nelson Ferrara of NY and Chris Bates of TX along with her loving nieces and nephew: Sabrina, Hope, Amy, Liza, Eian, Allison, and Ali. Also, her Paradise Pelican family and other countless family members and lifelong friends.
A visitation for Kathleen will be held Sunday, January 9, 2022 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Coral Ridge Funeral Home & Cemetery, 950 Chiquita Blvd. S, Cape Coral, FL 33991.
