Dawn was born on April 5, 1955, in Marquette, to Frank J. and Margaret M. (Blair) Dupras. She was a 1973 graduate of Marquette Senior High School and was a life-long area resident.

Dawn worked for the Michigan D.N.R. Fisheries as a Research Technician. As well as, a bartender for numerous establishments in Marquette County. Dawn more recently was a bus driver for MarqTran, attending to the elderly and disabled. A job which she loved.

Dawn was an avid reader and candy crush player. She enjoyed gardening, mostly wildflowers and feeding the hummingbirds.

She was a super aunt to her nieces and nephews and loved spending summers at the family cottage in Three Lakes. Dawn also had a wicked sense of humor.
