It is with great sadness and much love that we say goodbye to Dawn Georgina Mosey (Brookes) who passed away peacefully at age 69, on November 15th, 2024, at Guelph General Hospital with loved ones by her side. Dawn was born in Ottawa on May 19th, 1955, to Barbara Brookes (McKenny) and (the late) James Brookes.
