She was born October 26, 1974, to Charles and Patricia Collins in Keokuk, IA.
She attended Hamilton High School where she played basketball and softball and graduated in

Kurt, Nikolas, and Jacob Kalis. The family became the Brady Bunch.
In 2012, Dawn graduated from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI with a degree in
secondary education with a focus in History and English. Teaching was a huge passion of hers. She
loved her students as if they were her own children.
In addition to teaching, Dawn loved coaching sports. From her daughters t-ball and soccer teams, to
softball, volleyball, basketball, and even track and field. She couldn’t stay away from competition.
Dawn was also an avid reader and history buff. 
Dawn was most proud of her three daughters and three step sons. She constantly bragged about
their accomplishments and how all six were part of the US Military. Her favorite thing about being
their mom and step mom was when she became a grandmother.
