Dawn Lambertus, 54, of Parkland, FL passed away on Saturday, April 25, 2015 after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Dawn was born on January 14, 1961 in Hialeah, FL.

Dawn was a wonderful wife and a devoted and adoring mother. She dedicated her life to her children; they always came first in her life. Austin and Taylor meant the world to her. Her children were her priority and she loved them dearly. She was a beautiful, easygoing woman that was always smiling. She believed in loving with all her heart and sharing laughter with those who loved her.

Dawn is survived by her loving husband, Edward G. Lambertus; her son, Austin; her daughter, Taylor; and her brothers, Jay Braswell and his wife Kay and Jamie Braswell and his wife Alicia; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Leigh Braswell; and her sister, Cindy Shuford.

Dawn's infectious smile drew people close to her. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her including her closest friends. She will be remembered for her gentle, kind heart and sweet personality.

A Memorial Gathering will be held at Coral Springs Funeral Home, 1420 N. University Drive, Coral Springs, FL on Friday, May 1, 2015 from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. with a Memorial Service starting at 7:00 P.M. A Graveside Service will be held at Ortona Cemetery on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 12:00 P.M., where she will be laid to rest with her sister.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that donations be made to Arlene Stathakis who, along with her daughter Kim, have dedicated their lives to caring for those who suffer with Alzheimer's Disease. Words can not express our gratitude for the love they bestowed upon Dawn and our entire family. Without their generosity and support we would not have made it through these difficult times. They consider us part of their family and for that we are truly grateful. God Bless! With Love, Ed, Austin & Taylor
