I was Dawn's stepmother and I loved her and miss her. I was her father's last wife. She was a very talented artist and singer. When her father and I were married she was my matrian of honor at the wedding. And every Friday Clay ,me Dawn and her husband would play cards.

Tina and I wish to thank everyone who attended Dawn’s memorial this morning. Dawn’s wish was to not face death alone. Tina and I waited with her until God came for her; all of you were there for her today.  A fitting tribute to a good soul. 

You never know who God puts on your path as you go through life's journey.  I am so fortunate to have been blessed with someone that showed her love and selflessly gave a helping hand when you needed one.  Dawn Ging was very funny, extremely polite and, very kind.  It's no wonder that she easily made friends with whomever she encountered.  Her generosity to share her talents of love through a kind word, offering advice and, blessing fellow coworkers with her impeccable baking skills are a few of the many things I will miss.  May God bless her soul as she rest in everlasting peace and bring comfort to all her dear family and friends.  My sincere condolences to you all.

My first day at the Queen Palm Office, when I arrived, my cubicle was spotlessly clean. I was informed that Dawn was responsible.  Dawn was very kind and helpful. She was very knowledgeable about her job and loved what she did and was quick to explain the process.       
 Dawn and I shared the same first name and we drove Joan crazy when one of us would start a conversation with “Hi Dawn” and the other would respond  “Hi Dawn”. 
She loved to bake and her carrot cake, which is my favorite dessert, was second to none.
Dawn will be missed. May her soul rest in peace.  


I wasn't lucky enough to meet Dawn in person but I had heard good things about her. I did know that all my colleagues in Tampa knew her very well. I am sure she will be deeply missed by her family and friends. May God rest her soul in peace and the angels to always be there with her.




I met Dawn and got to know her when I moved to the Queen Palm work location. She was so friendly and helpful, always willing to explain how processing worked and why my note wasn't quite right. She became another of Joan's adoptees into her family.  I really got to know her through those family events and the Thursday night coffee and dinner sessions. In turn she adopted my kids into her family.  She had  so much fun buying gifts for everyone.  I enjoyed her hugs as much as I liked giving them. And her  desserts were sooo good.  I learned a lot more about her as we went to the doctors before her surgery.  She was an intelligent, loving woman.  I will miss her greatly.

Miss you Dawn. Will always remember those green birthday cakes you always baked for my birthday.  We loved to talk about growing up in the 60's and 70's, the history, the fashion and the shoes!  Take care my friend.

I haven’t worked with Dawn in years,  since I am retired, but I remember what a special person she was.  I am a Brighton jewelry collector also and we used to tell each other about our new purchases.  I guess we enabled each other to buy more! 
She will be greatly missed by all her knew her. 
RIP Dawn. 

Dawn and I became close at work early before anyone else arrived we were there withcoffee and if holiday was coming we would decorate. Oh could she bake a cake or special desserts. And she so enjoyed baking for anyone and had such joy making anything different for us to try.  Before work we would talk of anything and everything. We shared confidences and she allowed me to adopt her into my large noisy family for gatherings and special occasions.  Her, Jim and I and sometimes Joanne would get together on just about every Thursday night for coffee (or tea in the last year for her) and dinner at my home.  Some of those conversations were interesting about a lot of topics but I learned a lot about Dawn growing up and why she in Tampa. When she arrived she would announce "I need a Hug!" then after all hugs were around she would give herself a shake and smile and say "Oh that's so much better . I needed that" She was a big part of my life. So dynamic, intelligent, funny and usually full of energy.  She knew her job, and had great pride in her work. She loved surprises and small gifts and treasured time with  her adopted family. She loved our noisy celebrations of birthdays and holidays.  Loved Christmas and the excitement before and baking.  I was lucky enough to have her at the house for a few days after her surgery on the 17th, and we talked, shared ideas , looked at photos (old ones of husband Jim and I) lots of laughs, talked of her up coming 70th birthday in Savannah. She loved that city and talked us into going. She was right what a wonderful historic visit. I will miss our morning calls, Thursday dinners, her laugh, her warmth, her intelligence and her bullheadedness.  She loved her camels and red birds and her cat Sweetie. She loved her friends and spoke of them often with love and laughter and how much joy they brought her.  Yes, there is a big void now she's gone. I will and do miss her . I was so very fortunate to have known, love and be loved by her.   



Dawn I am going to miss you so much. Like you said that Saturday if I would've stayed in Florida we could've been Thelma and Louise. I will always remember the conversations about The Met, Music, Art, Books, and anything else that came up on NPR.  I promise one day I am going to go to NYC and see everything that you promised to show me. I will probably talk to you the whole time too and everyone will think I am crazy. Thank you for letting me stay with you when I came down to Florida and for staying up late talking. I know I could always count on you to tell me to get my head on straight and do what had to be done.  I am glad you are back with your beloved Dad and mom. Say Hi to Kristi, I know that you 2 will be waiting for me when I get there smiling and I look forward to it. 

I am part of Dawn's CV work family,  and although we only interacted via email, I heard and felt the love, admiration, and adoration that was shared by our fellow CV family and friends. 
I am truly saddened on the loss of this remarkable woman.
With my heartfelt condolences expressed, 
Yvonne Vasquez

Dawn and I worked together. She enjoyed coming to work every day. She was warm and inviting to anyone new to the department, and she went out of her way to always make sure you had a nice and clean work space to start your career with the company. She was very thoughtful of others, and would ask you what kind of cake you want for your birthday. She was a wonderful cake baker. Even if we were having a bad week, she would brighten our day with her larger than life personality. Dawn Ging was a bright shining light in the lives of all of us that worked with her. She will be missed by all who knew her. God bless her and give her peace and love.

Dawn had an uncanny way of knowing when you were having a bad day and could make you smile. You will be greatly missed, my dear friend. 

I said a special prayer for my beloved friend Dawn Ging. I prayed that she would be reunited with her parents and sister. Dawn was a very good friend to me. I shall always remember those occasions when she prepared Christmas Dinner for Tina Tusa and me. We worked together as a team at National Tables and remained close friends after she retired from Verizon and moved back to Tampa. We celebrated birthdays and Christmas dinner together because Tina, her husband Roy, and daughter Angela and me were her family in Tampa. There were other close friends she worked with in Texas that she remained close with too. I will miss Dawn Nannette Ging terribly. But now she is at peace and hopefully in the busum  of her family. Love you my Dear Friend.
