September 27, 1960 – December 14, 2025
It is with profound sadness that the family of Dawn Lorraine Olsen announces her passing in Saint John, NB, at the age of 65 years, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on September 27th 1960, Dawn was the daughter of William and Dorothy Fulton.
Dawn dedicated the past 20 years of her working life to Canadian Tire West, where she was known for her strong work ethic and her genuine care for customers. She truly loved connecting with people and took great pride in helping those she served. A true lover of the outdoors, Dawn could most often be found camping or at the gun range whenever the opportunity arose. Nature brought her peace and joy. When she could not escape to the outdoors, she created that same warmth at home, gathering around a bonfire in her backyard. Baking was another cherished pastime of Dawn’s when she had the chance, and it was something she truly excelled at. Dawn will be remembered for her kindness, her love of family, and her ability to make others feel welcome and valued. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Dawn will be lovingly remembered by her mother, Dorothy Fulton, her sister, Lori Savoie (Paul), her sons, Andrew Olsen and Shane Stokes (Trish), her grandchildren; Brady, Emmy and Maddy Stokes, her sister-in-law, Debbie Fulton, her three nieces, her nephew, her great nieces, great nephews, her brother in law Bill (Diane) Olsen; Loretta Diamond step daughters Kelly (Mark) Thompson and stepdaughter Tracy (Paul) St Coeur along with many friends and all who had the pleasure of meeting Dawn.
