She was born July 5, 1964 to Frederick and Margaret (Parsons) Stemm in Zanesville, OH. On May 2, 1988 Dawn married Thomas J. Odren and he survives.
Dawn was a talented track athlete during her time at Centerville Schools and carried her success and ambition forward into her varied careers and life to come. She had worked as a book keeper for the Village Market in Colon and Centerville and had also spent some of her career with Maxitrol and Colon Schools until her health would no longer allow her to do so.
Dawn enjoyed playing softball, following Ohio State sports, and gardening; but above all she loved her family and her relationship with God. She was a woman of God, she attended Cornerstone Community Church of God in Colon with her husband Tom and though her battle with MS was long, Dawn always kept her faith. Dawn surrounded herself and filled her heart with the people she loved.
She was always there to support her friends and family in the ways that she could and will be dearly missed by all.
In addition to her husband Tom Odren of Bronson, Dawn is survived by her parents Fred (Margaret) Stemm of Colon; her children Dustin Odren, Faith (Spencer) Minor both of Bronson; her sister Darcie Stemm-Carr of Battle Creek; a brother-in-law Phil Carr of Colon; her granddaughter Nora Minor; her loving nieces and nephews including Samantha Roberts and Steven Carr and her father-in-law Thomas Odren of Gowen, MI.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, her mother-in-law Barbara Odren, and her cousins.
