Frank Overcash told us about Dawn passing on February 1, 2022. But it didn’t click with me until Don Kimball sent me her Obituary that it was Dawn Harrington from The Class of 1975!
“It is with a heavy heart that Brad Gryder’s wife Dawn has passed. Dawn and Brad shared a wonderful life for many years with many memories. Dawn transcended this Earthly life in her sleep Monday morning and is now absent of the body but present with our Lord and Savior. Brad is in need of prayerful support with this sudden event in his life as well as Dawn’s family and friends. It is my understanding Whitley’s will be serving the family in the coming days. Please remember Dawn and Brad and our classmates in need of healing and comfort during this time and each of you take care yourselves. From Frank.
