She was born June 27, 1963 in Green Bay, daughter of the late Leroy and Beatrice (Liska) Verdegan and was a graduate of Green Bay Southwest High School, Class of 1981.

After graduating, Dawn attended cosmetology school and worked in various salons in the Green Bay area. Dawn worked as a cook at St. Mary's Hospital, which she really loved. Later in her life, she was a dietitian/cook at St. Joseph School. Dawn truly enjoyed working with the children at the school.

Dawn was an animal lover and especially liked tigers and lions. She was an avid collector of all memorabilia related to tigers and lions.
