Dawn was born April, 27, 1967 in Pennsylvania, the daughter of the late Al and Bettie Rockhill Driver. She was a graduate of Westover Georgia High School and continued her education at Columbus State University where she earned her degree in Music Education.
A Christian, Dawn will be remembered for her love of working with children. She was a member of the Girl scouts for 47 years as both, a scout and a leader. For the past 8 years, Dawn was involved with First Robotics and had teams on the First Lego and First Challenge.
Dawn always stood for the "underdog" and she thrived to build up the kids and adults around her. She loved animals and her heart was blessed with four loyal canines, Daisie, Lizzie, Corkie and Frankie.
