Deborah Joyce Dawson

Steven her devoted husband told me of her: She was a faithful believer in her Lord Jesus Christ. A loving wife, devoted and loving mother of 8 children.

Steven wrote of their history: "We met each other while at a dance at Hof's Hut in Cerritos, CA. She was attending California State University at Fullerton and I was the Sports Information Director at Fullerton College. I was so taken by Deb that I asked her to marry me 9 days into our relationship. Deb said yes, but she did not want a long engagement so two months and a day after saying yes to my asking we said our "I Do's" in a backyard home ceremony in San Bernardino, CA."

During the early years Deb worked as a department manager for an Orange County music store until there first child arrived in 1981. In 1987 Deb and Steve moved to Sacramento, CA where they co-founded a Christian School and administrated the school together from 1990-1997. The family then moved to Eastern Pennsylvania in 1998 where Deb worked as a 2nd grade school teacher, a real estate agent, and in banking for the last ten years.
