Dawn was the best wife and mother; she was whole-heartedly devoted to her family and her passion for all things literature, dubbed the "Book Dragon" by her husband. Dawn was a proud homemaker and enjoyed homeschooling her children for many years. She was a plant lady, even though she may not have had the greenest of thumbs. She was an old soul and often said that she was born in the wrong decade. Dawn was fervently pursuing her Bachelor's Degree in English and Creative Writing at SNHU. Dawn never gave her illness the power to take away her spirit; she was a tried and true warr;or, through and through. Dawn fought the good fight, never once giving up, even in the face of adversity. She encouraged so many other fellow warriors in their fights. The lives of everyone who knew her will never be the same, and her absence will be deeply felt.

Those left to cherish Dawn's memory include her husband, Kevin Prudhomme, Jr.; daughter, Katelyn Prudhomme; son, Noah Prudhomme; parents, Steve and Wedna Stelly; grandparents, Dennis and Irma Prudhomme; three sisters, Misty (Harry) Spell, Sara (Jasper) Swain and Hannah Stelly (fiancé, Hunter Alleman); brother-in-law, Trenton Prudhomme; sister-in-law, Rebecca Prudhomme; in-laws, Kevin Sr. and Roxy Prudhomme; and Samantha (Paul) Kennedy; her "weekend warriors", Lamar and Kameron, Matt and Veronica, Mike and Jordan;  her best friend, Brenna; and a host of loving aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family members, and friends.

Dawn is preceded in death by her nephew, William Joseph Prudhomme; grandmothers, Loyce Bernard and Ludy Bell Bourque; brother, Corey Parker; her two babies (whom she finally met); and her dog, Tinkerbell Prudhomme.
