Dawn Williams Obituary

Dawn was born August 11, 1975 in Rockford, IL the daughter of Michael and Cheryl McCoy. She died October 12, 2009 in Colorado Springs, Colorado Dawn was a wonderful woman with two hearts. Those who knew Dawn best were well aware of her physical heart conditions. She had open-heart surgery at six months old and was on heart medication her entire life. She received an artificial valve implant at age 23 and a pacemaker just two years ago. This was the heart that propelled her life from an active happy childhood through the birth of her two healthy children, Samantha and Matthew, on to completing her G.E.D. and graduating from Blair College with a Paralegal degree, and ultimately moving into their Colorado Springs home with her husband, Johnny. All these accomplishments were achieved against tremendous odds that caused many to wonder how she could do so much in only 34 years. Dawn was preceded in death by Hope Lynn and is survived by: her husband Johnny Williams, her children, Samantha Lynn Fordham, Matthew James Fordham, step-son Dylan Williams, her parents: Michael and Cheryl McCoy, her brother, Shad (Kelly) McCoy, her sister Lora (Jason) Duncan, her nephews, Kendrick, Jaron and Trinity McCoy, Thackhary and Iridessa Duncan, her cousin, Katherine Foster and numerous aunts and uncles. Visitation is Wednesday, October 21, 2009 from 4:00-7:00 PM at The Springs Funeral Services, 3115 E. Platte Avenue. Funeral Service, 11:00 AM,Thursday, October 22, 2009 at The Springs Funeral Services.
