Obituary of Dawn Marie Capitain

DAWN MARIE LANE-CAPITAIN

MAY 11, 1972 TO JUNE 19, 2019

Dawn passed away peacefully on June 19 at her parent’s home, with her family by her side, after a one-and-a-half year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Dawn is survived by her husband Mark; his mother Sandi; his brother Matthew; her parents, Larry and Joanne Lane.  She was preceded in death by her son, Robert Lane.

Her family moved to Lake Havasu City when she was five.  She attended kindergarten through high school in Lake Havasu City.  She was working at New Horizons when she felt a call to nursing, and as a single parent adult, attended Mohave Community College for her nursing degree.  She worked in several nursing home environments before going to work for Hospice of Havasu.  She was blessed with a gift of compassion, and loved the interaction with the patients and her coworkers.   Dawn and her husband, Mark, moved to Santa Maria, California seven years ago where she eventually went to work for Wilshire Hospice.  She worked there until she started chemo for her cancer.  Dawn had an unconditional love for her husband, parents, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and all who met her. 

She loved Jesus first and then her family and friends second.  She had been a member of the Lake Havasu Church of the Nazarene before meeting Mark, and was an active member of Life Way Fellowship in Santa Maria, serving on the praise team.  She was blessed by her “posse” of girlfriends there, who were with her every step of her battle with cancer.

There will be a celebration of her life on July 27, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Lake

Havasu Church of the Nazarene, 2700 Rainbow Avenue North, where Pastor Katy Scott and lifelong friend, Pastor Steve Ormord will share words of encouragement. 

In lieu of flowers, her family is asking that donations be given in her memory to Hospice of Havasu, Post Office Box 597, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86405.

Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.  Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com.
