(nee Sment) Dawn Marie Dettling died at home, in Milwaukee on November 25, 2020. She was with her family when she lost her short fight against cancer. Dawn was born in Milwaukee in 1954 to Florence H. (nee Pinkowski) and Chester R. Sment who preceded her in death as well as her older brother Dale (Mary). Dawn graduated from Central High School. She had several administrative positions before starting her own business from which she retired. Dawn loved life, her family, her friends, her home and her cats. She made the best prime rib roast and treated her family to wonderful Thanksgiving dinners for many years. She will be missed for her generous heart. Dawn is survived by her brother Dean (Michelle) and her nephews and nieces, Scott (Amy), Noëlle (Rob), Steven (Alethea) Sment and Sherri Sment-Krause, Harold and Sergio Rocha and her great nephews Rohan, Liam and Soren Sment who will miss their Auntie Wheels and by her cousins, other relatives and many friends. She will be missed by her most loving best friend Tim Sczesny and his family. He so tenderly took care of her. Dawn will rest in the Chapel of Hope at St. Adalbert Cemetery. A memorial mass will be held in the next year post pandemic. Donations in her memory should be made to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC).
