Dawn Causer Van Deusen

OBITUARY

Dawn Causer Van Deusen met her eternal peace while comfortable at home on Tuesday, March 31st. She was just 58 years old. Dawn was known for her infectious laugh and ability to tell a good story. She was loved by many, especially her four children and five grandchildren. She always felt that her children and grandchildren represented the best part of her life, especially their education. She passed away as a proud mother and grandmother who made many selfless sacrifices for them.

Dawn was born in the small town of Oseola, Pa, moved to North Dakota as a teenager where she graduated from high school and attended college, and later moved back to Pennsylvania to be with the love of her life, Joseph Van Deusen Sr. She later moved to Georgia with Joseph to enjoy a well-deserved retirement.

Dawn was a true kid-at-heart person who enjoyed having fun with her children. Whether it be driving around town listening to 1980’s music or participating in mischief with her children, she was an absolute blast to be around. Hours of fun around the campfire, late night games, camping, taking photos, walking, talking on the phone, and crafts were just a few of her hobbies that she enjoyed often. She was a happy person who loved to share that happiness with others whenever possible.

Her family would like to thank everyone that checked up on her, helped her, and supported her in her moments of need. Everyday we had with her was truly a blessing even though it may have been very difficult at times. You only get one Mom and the time you get to spend with her should be cherished.

Dawn was proceeded in death by Joseph Van Deusen Sr., her father Homer, and her brother Rocky. Dawn is survived by her children and their spouses, Bryan Causer, Sr. (Krissy), Jessica Hall (Chad), Stephanie Van Deusen (Robert Klinkel), Joseph Van Deusen Jr (Ashley); grandchildren, Isebell Van Deusen, Bryan Causer, Jr., Lucas Causer, William Klinkel, Evie Klinkel; brother, Johnny Causer (Lila), she is also survived by several other siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family.

Blessing services are scheduled for Thursday at noon at the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., with burial to follow at the Cathedral Cemetery.

Family and friends may pay their respects on Thursday from 10:00 AM until service. Please visit the funeral home’s website for directions or to leave a condolence.
