Obituary of Dawn Frances Burnham

Dawn Frances Burnham Dawn Frances Burnham, 71 (née Killgallan and formerly Repath), on the morning of August 26, 2015, peacefully at home in bed in her studio. Born in London, England on October 17, 1943, Dawn was a potter, film & video producer, art teacher and beloved wife of Mark Burnham. She had been home from hospital as she wished for almost two weeks during which time she was never alone, cared for by her many friends and Mark, supported by home-care services of the Province of Ontario. Dawn loved life, lived with deep enthusiasm and died with plans but few regrets. She enjoyed people and occasions yet guarded her privacy, even about her illness. She will be missed by Mark and her many friends as a bright light has now moved out of their lives. There will be a gathering in her honour as she wished at The Maberly Hall (Maberly, Ontario) from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on October 17, 2015. In lieu of flowers, friends may wish to make memorial donations to The Perth and District Union Library or The Mississippi Valley Conservation Foundation.
