Mrs. Dawn Delores Stare

February 14, 1933 - February 14, 2017

Mrs. Dawn Delores (Billet) Stare Wright entered eternity peacefully on her birthday, February 14, 2017 in Fontana, California at the age of 84. She is survived by her children, son Skip and wife Karen of Fullerton, daughter Dee Ann and husband Tom of Laguna Woods, son Douglas and Renae of Show Low, Arizona, grandchildren Erica Encarnacion, Sara Jones, Scott Stare, Josh Wallace, great-grandchildren Molly, Regan, Cooper, Riley, and her sister Betty Bowser of York of Pennsylvania. She is preceded in death by her husbands Merle O. Stare and James L. Wright. Born in York, Pennsylvania on February 14, 1933, she was the daughter of John and Mamie Billet. In 1949, she married her childhood sweetheart Merle and they made their first home in York. Moving west to California in 1962, Dawn and Merle brought up their children to know and love the Lord. When grandchildren arrived, Dawn was a loving grandmother. Her grandchildren have many memories of grandma’s house, the aromas of Pennsylvania Dutch meals, and her generous heart. There were times when something would strike grandma’s fancy such that she couldn’t stop giggling and all would find themselves joining into her uncontrollable laughter. She was a loving wife, a caring mother, a special grandmother, and a friend to many. A funeral service is scheduled for Saturday, February 25, 2017 at Kern Hesperia Mortuary, 16120 Main Street, Hesperia, California at 10:00am. Pastor Patti Branscome will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Dawn’s life.
