Mrs. Dawn Elaine DuBuis was born September 17, 1950 in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of Francis and Hope Boudro. Daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Dawn embodied every role with an unmatched grace. Married to her Bentley High School sweetheart for 43 years, she was a stronghold, a spiritual guide, loving arms always ready to comfort, and a warm smile of encouragement to the children they raised. Her meek and loving manner was a strength that was felt by everyone that knew her, endearing her to family and friends alike. The faith that filled her heart started over thirty years ago when she was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and guided her in every aspect of her life. We look forward to being reunited with her when she will be healthy, young and vibrant forever in Jehovah’s promised paradise earth. She leaves to cherish her memory: husband, Robert Allen DuBuis of Mt.
