June 19, 1965 - November 9, 2021

Dawn C. Lavrenz, 56, formerly of Fond du Lac, and current resident of Port Charlotte, FL, died on November 9, 2021 at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. She was born on June 19, 1965, in West Bend, the daughter of Darwin and Donna Ladwig Lavrenz. She was a graduate of Campbellsport High School, Class of 1983. Dawn worked for a few local businesses such as Ma & Pa's and Philly's on 4th, but she was a homemaker for most of her life. She devoted much time to raising her family, keeping a tidy home, and cooking good food. In Dawn's free time, she loved to paint and garden. She would often paint flowers or animals, and would give her paintings as gifts to people she loved. Dawn loved animals, especially her cats and her dog Mego. Towards the end of her life, Dawn had began working as a warehouse manager for an Auction in North Port, Florida. There she met a good man named Richie, and they made each other very happy in the short amount of time they had together. She was a very loving, caring and funny woman, mother and grandmother whose smile could light up the room. She is survived by her children: Jessica Sinotte of Fond du Lac, Joshua (Hilary) Stephanie of Fond du Lac and Edward (fiancé Shayna Woods) Uttendorfer of North Fond du Lac; her grandchildren: Paxton, Emma, Oliver, Tony, Jade, Charlotte and Norah; her sister Deanna (John) Zettler of Fond du Lac.
