Two years turned into twenty-four and Hong Kong became a beloved adopted hometown for Dawn; it was where she raised her 3 children (Courtney, Jordan and Haley), where she started her jewelry business and also where she made lifelong friends.

Dawn was very artistic and creative; she started painting while living in Hong Kong and it was a hobby she continued through the rest of her life. Her jewelry designing was also an important part of her life. She also loved her games of chance; she bet on the Triple Crown series each year, had many memorable trips to Las Vegas with her mother Elizabeth and local casinos with cousins Judy and Lois, loved her scratch offs and also enjoyed playing the lottery.
