We are saddened to share that Dawn M. Taylor, 61, of Potsdam passed away
peacefully on September 18, 2025, in the comfort of her home under the
loving care of her family and Hospice.
Dawn was born on September 21, 1963, in Gouverneur, daughter of the late
Clark A. and Bernadine G. (Fellows) Peck. She married Christopher A.
Taylor in Potsdam on August 1, 1999, sharing a loving union for 26
years. A cherished member of our family and a beloved friend, Dawn's
warm and animated spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Dawn devoted her life to creating a loving home, where she was a proud
and dedicated wife to Christopher Taylor and a caring mother to her
children: Rhiannon Besio-Kahrs and her partner Gerald Bray, Dustin
Taylor, Jordan Taylor, and Nicole Bondellio. She was also an adoring
grandmother of Ethan M. Besio-Kahrs and Hailey Kahrs. Dawn took great
pleasure in journaling, card making, caring for her beloved cats Pepper
and Bailey, and tending to her plants and flowers.
She is also survived by her brothers: Roger Peck, Mark and Candy Peck,
and Dana and Tabitha Peck. Dawn was predeceased by a sister, Darla
Patrick, a brother, Daniel Peck and a sister in law, Judy Peck.
Following her final wishes, her life will be honored privately.
