I’m so sorry to hear about Dawnita’s passing. I’ve been trying to think of something to write that encapsulates her spirit, but there aren’t enough words to describe how much of a light she was. She was so kind, so thoughtful, and so, so funny. I loved her laugh — it made me crack up when she found something really funny. She was unforgettable. Much love to her family. xoxo.

To all loved ones of Dawnita.. I knew Dawnita when my mother, Jean Corke, was her art teacher in her home on Maple Avenue. Together they created and chatted. I would visit after teaching and watch them busily trying différent techniques. My mum enjoyed those after school times with her . Pamela Corke

So deeply saddened to hear that Dawnita has left us. She was so young and vivacious. She was always warm and welcoming, her smile lit up every room she entered. She was kind and a joy to be around. May her family and friends know though she died so young, she was a beautiful soul who leaves all of us better people for knowing her. My most sincere condolences to her dear family and Mike whom she adored.

To our beautiful Dawnita, Me and my family are so sad to hear you are no more, your beautiful and enlightening soul was taken too soon . You lit up a room with your infamous smile and always took care and helped people regardless if you had to go out of your own way to do it. You were the most selfless person I had ever known and I owe so much to you and I wish that your last seconds were filled with the people you love and you rest peacefully after. I have so much love for you in my heart and considered you as my family,I still remember the day you came to Raiqas play and for her first bouquet of yellow roses and how her face lit up when she saw them. You were always there for me and for my family and I wish I could’ve been there for you during these hard times. I genuinely appreciated you Dawnita and I am forever grateful to you and what you have done for me and for my family. Your presence and unconditional love and kindness and your contagious laugh will be missed. I hope we meet again someday and that you rest peacefully and that your family is doing well. Rest in peace sweet girl, lots of love Tahmina and family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dawnita’s passing. Dawnita and I became friends in our WP days and have stayed in touch through the years. She was always a kind, gentle, caring person who was genuinely interested in how you were doing. Any time you saw her she always greeted you with that great smile that let you know she was happy to see you. I’m sorry that I didn’t realize she was this close to her time…I want to give my condolences to Dawnita’s family, her partner Mike and the many who will miss her…she truly left her mark on those she met and I will think of her and remember her fondly .

My heartfelt condolences to Dawnita’s entire family. I am so saddened to hear of her passing and her recent health issues. I met Dawnita when I worked in the library at West Pictou. We had the best conversations whenever she came to the library and most recently a few years ago, a nice but too short a catch up when I ran into her at the hospital. She was such a beautiful person and her obituary captured the essence of her perfectly. Sending you all love and strength during this difficult time. I will remember her fondly.

So sorry for the loss of your dear Dawnita. Our bodies grow weary and Dawnitas much too soon, yet her light shines on forever and in your hearts and memories. I love these Tom Waits lyrics as the time comes to bend down the branches. God bless and hugs, Janet B
The sky's as deep as it can be
Bend down the branches
Close your eyes and you will see
Bend down the branches
You're like a willow once you were gold
We're made for bending, even beauty gets old
Climb the stairs, they're not so steep
Bend down the branches
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Bend down the branches

We were so saddened to learn of Dawnita's passing. Dawnita was such a beautiful person, inside and out. We had the pleasure of knowing and working with her at the Aberdeen Hospital when she as the Office Administrator for Dr. Tahmina Wahab. She will be missed by many and we were blessed to have known her. The staff of the Intensive Care Unit are thinking of you all during this most difficult time. Hugs to all.

Sincere condolences to Michael and Dwanitas families. Although I had only met Dwanita once while she was visiting Jean, I feel I knew her by listening to Jean talk about what a loving partner she was for her son , how smart she was with technology and always willing to help those who were not (me) , and her love of cats which I share. A beautiful woman, gone too soon .
I am so sorry.

I was fortunate to work with Dawnita at the NSCC. I worked beside the library at the bookstore and visited several times a day. We both shared a passion for food and a love of cats. A day wouldn’t go by without us talking about food. I valued her opinion and would frequently bring in new recipes for her to try. Sometimes on the weekend I would find some amazing recipe and couldn’t wait until Monday to share it with her. She had a presence that drew everyone to her. She was beautiful both inside and out. I will miss her dearly. My condolences to Mike and her family whom she loved dearly.

I was lucky enough to be a colleague of Dawnita's at NSCC. Even though I am at a different campus and our communication was virtual, she felt like a treasured friend. She would send little notes in the mail and online that always brightened my day. She was such a warm and kind-hearted person - I think she made me laugh every time we spoke. My sincerest condolences to Dawnita's family and loved ones.

I had the pleasure of working with Dawnita in the library at NSCC. She was loved by the students and employees at Pictou Campus as well as library staff from across the province. Her skills were excellent, but it was her ability to make everyone feel welcome. No request was too much trouble and she always went above and beyond to help others, be they students or staff. I enjoyed Dawnita's sense of humor and all the laughs we had together. She made coming to work so much fun. When she left, so many students asked me when she would be back because they missed her so much. I wish to offer my condolences to Dawnita's family who I heard so much about and who were so loved by her.
