Dawn M. Antrim, age 58 of Kenosha passed away on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at the Hospice House, Pleasant Prairie.

Born on March 24, 1956 in Racine, Dawn was the daughter of Jerome L. and Margaret J. (Wagner) St. Amand.  Sadly, her father died nine hours after Dawn was called to heaven.

On September 9, 1978 in Kenosha she was united in marriage to Russell “Gene” E. Antrim.

Dawn was employed as a Teacher’s Assistant primarily at Vernon Elementary and Southport Elementary Schools and with other schools throughout Kenosha Unified for many years.  The time she spent working with special education students brought her immense purpose and joy.

She had served as president of the Vernon School Association, was active as a leader with the Girl Scouts, and enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and most of all she enjoyed the time she spent with her grandchildren.

Survivors include her husband “Gene”; her five children, Janice (Adam) Scheppler, Eric (Dawn), Ronald (Susan), Leonard (Glenna), and Russell (Vivian) Antrim: fourteen grandchildren: three great grandchildren; her siblings, Rhonda Jobe, Mary Jo ( James) Miller, and  Jeri Lyn , Amy, and Tim St. Amand.

In addition to her father, Dawn was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Gabrielle Antrim.

The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses that cared for Dawn during her courageous battle with leukemia.
