Dawn Linson Vetter

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Dawn Linson Vetter went home to be with her Heavenly Father on 7-12-2021.

Dawn wore many hats but her favorites were Wife, Mother, Grandma and Miss Dawn. She served McDowell County schools for 22 years as the McSmiles Preschool Teacher. She taught preschoolers readiness skills for kindergarten. She deeply loved each and every student as well as their parents. Dawn was vibrant and upbeat. She never met a stranger and could start up a conversation with anyone. She had the ability to find the good in every person. She loved to make cards for friends and family to spread her happiness to them. But what made Dawn's life so special and impactful was the order in which she lived it, Jesus, others, then self.

She will be missed by those who loved her the most, her family. Her husband, Joseph Vetter, her four children Abby, Joe, Karl and Kristin, her seven grandchildren Mia, Landon, Rhyland, Kingston, Braxton, Khyler, and Remedy Rose, her two brothers John and Jeff Linson and their spouses and children.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at Story Memorial Presbyterian Church on September 18th from 12-2pm receiving of friends and 2-3pm will be the Service. Additional celebration of life ceremonies will be held at Brown Mountain Bottleworks on July 25th from 5-7 pm and at The Marion Moose Lodge, at a later date.
