Dawn Renee Purdon (nee Dority), age 54, of Lebanon, Ohio, passed away suddenly on December 1st, 2021 at Select Specialty Hospital North in Montgomery, OH, with her loving daughter by her side. 

Dawn was born in Cincinnati, OH on March 19th, 1967. She attended Loveland Schools, then received her Bachelor's of Science degree in Paralegal Studies from the University of Cincinnati.

She enjoyed being the social butterfly of any event or place she visited. She would frequently spend her time shopping at the Goodwill and taking care of stray cats in the neighborhood. Not only was she passionate of her cats, she was obsessed with Wonder Woman, cheetah print, and classic rock. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and loved her grandchildren dearly. Dawn was always willing to give and was selfless - she had a contagious smile that that would light up the room, even during her own struggles. She was devout in her faith of God, and that shone through with her selfless and giving nature as well as her sunny disposition when things would get dark. She was a loving friend to many.

Dawn was born to Ruth (Baas) Dority and the late Eugene S. Dority. She is survived by her two children, Brandy (Andy) Purdon of Cape Coral, FL and Matt (Brandy) Purdon of Lebanon, OH and her cat, Romeo II; grandchildren Kayden, Kassidy, Kowen, Carson, Teeghan, Easton, Tristan, Emberly, and Dylahn; sister Robin (Joe) Wesseler of Lebanon, Ohio and brother Rodney (Kristine) Dority of Goshen, Ohio; and many nieces and nephews.  Dawn is preceded in death by her father, Eugene S. Dority; sister, Denise Baas; and her beloved cat, Romeo.
