Dawn L. Harris

Dawn Louise Harris was called to rest and surrendered her spirit to her Lord and Savior on Monday, May 11, 2020, peacefully during the night at her home in Meadville, PA.

Dawn was a long-time resident of both Meadville and Erie, PA. Dawn was raised in Erie, PA where she grew up with her parents and four siblings. She graduated from Academy High School and later worked at Giant Eagle Grocery and Splash Lagoon Water Park, all in Erie, PA.

Dawn enjoyed reading, playing games, WWE wresting shows, and most of all, Dawn loved her family to include the many nieces, nephews and cousins that she cared for. She was a devoted Christian, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Because of her love of children, she created a strong bond with many nieces, nephews and cousins whom she gladly nurtured with her natural care-giving gifts.
