Virginia Marie Dawson, 69, of Castle Pines, Colorado, passed away Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver, Colorado following a courageous four month battle with heart disease. Per Virginia’s desire, no public service will be held, but rather she will return to her hometown of Marshalltown, Iowa at a later date for a private burial joined by her husband, children, and grandchildren. Memorials may be directed to Quakerdale Wolfe Ranch, 2932 240th Street, Marshalltown, Iowa 50158. Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson, Castle Rock, Colorado is taking care of Virginia following her gift to Donor Alliance of Denver.

Virginia was born in Iowa Falls, Iowa, August 25, 1947, the daughter of Maynard G. Haydock and Minerva C. Thompson. At an early age, her family moved to Marshalltown, Iowa. She is a 1965 graduate of Marshalltown High School. On August 17, 1968, Virginia married William Dawson in Marshalltown. Virginia and Bill’s journey began in Iowa, took them to Germany and Oklahoma, before settling in the Denver area in 1988.

She is survived by her husband Bill of Castle Pines; daughter Ashlee (Chris) Denning of Hagerstown, MD, son Brian (Kim) Dawson of Keller, TX, and son Jeff (Angie) of Herriman, UT; her grandchildren, Kyle Denning of Hagerstown, Jacob, Aidan, and Olivia Dawson of Keller, and Kelsey and Grace Dawson of Herriman; her sister, Sharon Haydock of Hagerstown; and her mother in law, Marcella Dawson of Sun Lakes, AZ. She was preceded in death by her parents Maynard and Minerva and her father in law, Robert Dawson.

Virginia’s children and grandchildren were her most precious assets and being called “G” she claimed always made her feel younger. She will always be with us.
