It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of our beloved Dawn Elizabeth Monahan on October 30 in Sydney at 68 years of age. Dawn was the only daughter of the late Hugh and Dency (MacInnis) Monahan.
Dawn worked for a number of years as a travel agent with Brennan’s travel in North Sydney. She was also athletic and enjoying many sports and an active lifestyle. Dawn enjoyed golfing, being a longtime member of the Lingan Golf Club. She also enjoyed skiing at Ben Eoin and was a member of the Ski Patrol. Curling was one of her favourite pastimes and she was very proud to have been part of a Provincial Champion curling team. Although she was small in stature, she had a big heart and was always ready with a kind word and a hand for anyone in need.
One of Dawn’s proudest accomplishments was achieving her Master’s Degree in Psychology from St. Mary’s University.
Dawn is survived and will be dearly missed by her husband Michael Reppa and her fur babies Pepper, Pixie and Foxy Girl.
