Dawn Marie Nonenmacher, 40 of Lumberton, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2020 at her home.

Dawn possessed a true talent for writing and was an accomplished published author of 6 books; Deceived, Undercover, A Case of Amnesia, The Criminal Cop, Piccolo’s Personal Case and Family Reunion. She will always be remembered for her radiant laugh, contagious smile and open heart. Dawn certainly had her share of loss during her 40 years from losing her father in ’04 to her brother in ’16 both to rectal cancer. Then in 2016, Dawn was diagnosed with the same thing. She had always been quiet but it was like something was a awakened in her. She found her voice and began to open up. She was a trooper and a fighter; never letting her diagnoses define her life but rather determined to make everything she did count. She was continuously thinking of others and trying to find a way to make a difference. And she achieved just that. From knitting cancer patients hats to being voted Camper of The Year by Camp Bluebird, Dawn proved that she did not have a selfish bone in her body. She was genuinely loved by everyone that knew her and will be missed beyond measure. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to assist the Nonenmacher family during this difficult time and ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
