Dawn Tavegia

Dawn Renee Tavegia, 52, passed away Friday, November 25, 2022.

Dawn was born December 31, 1969 in Des Moines, Iowa to Frank and Pamela (Collins) Harmon. Family was her greatest love. She was a wonderful mom, wife, sister, aunt and cousin. Her children and family drove her love for her hobbies which included baking, arranging flowers, and crafting. She loved to create new things to bring light and warmth to those she cared about. She cared deeply for those around her and worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was included. Whether it be through something she created or her shared love for football, Dawn’s passions shined through.

She is survived by her husband, Tony of almost 30 years, who she was more than proud to be married to; daughters, Gabrielle and Emily; niece, Taylor; nephew, Phillip; and a host of other family and friends.

Dawn was preceded in death by her parents, Pam and Doc Harmon; and her sister, Shawn Isbell.
