Dawn Bowler, 60, passed away after a long struggle on December 15, 2024.

Dawn was born on March 11, 1964, in Burlington, Vt., to Jacqueline Bowler Blanchard and Phillip M. Bowler Sr., both of whom survive her. Dawn had two children, Kyle Normandin and Melissa Normandin. She attended Burlington High School and later earned her GED.

She was predeceased by her older brother, Phillip M. Bowler Jr., in 2015. In addition to her parents and two children, Dawn is survived by two nephews, Phillip M. Bowler III and William Bowler, and two granddaughters from Melissa, named Aaliyah Cota and Akara Chea.

She loved watching TV cooking shows, comedies, and TV golf, and was a forever fan of country and rock music. She was a longtime companion of David Cadorette.

Her family would like to thank the staff of the Visiting Nurse Association for their years of dedicated service and the teams in the ER and ICUs at the University of Vermont Medical Center for their many lifesaving efforts.
