Dawn died Sunday, Jan. 29, 2017, at Homestead Hospice House in Owatonna after a short, hard fought-battle with cancer of unknown primary.

Dawn Merrie Egge was born July 23, 1970, in Austin, the daughter of William and Marlis (Weitzel) Hallman. She grew up in Austin and Emmons, attending school in both places. On March 16, 1991, she was united in marriage to Ronald Egge.

Dawn earned a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Rasmussen College in 2014 with Summa Cum Laude honors. She worked as an accountant at Hormel Foods Corporate Offices. Dawn enjoyed crafts, camping, rendezvous, pool league, travel, live music, concert shows and making wine. She also loved fishing, spending quality time with family and enjoying a cold beverage.

Dawn is survived by her parents Marlis (Ron) Thompson and William Hallman; husband, Ronald; children, Fredrick (Kristen), Brianna (Cody), Lauren (Brandon) and Lyndsey (Jesse); grandchildren Lane and Jameson; siblings Bill (Terrie), Ben, Johnny and Bo; eight nephews; and one niece.

Dawn was preceded in death by her mother and father-in-law Elsie and Harold Egge, other loving family members, and beloved dogs Shelby and Toby.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the wonderful staff at Homestead Hospice House for all they did for Dawn in her final days.
