BANG. — Sr. Dawn Lesley RSC

Dawn was an integral and much loved member of the Religious Sisters of Charity of Australia for 73 years. She died peacefully at St Catherine’s Residential Care Balwyn on 18th September. Dawn’s Sisters of Charity community, her family Maureen, John, Kerry and Leonie, her community at St Catherine’s, and her many friends will miss her wisdom, humour and especially her deep spirituality. Dawn accompanied and inspired many, drawn to her deep faith, warmth, humour, and ever affirming and encouraging way. Her life bore witness to her relationship with her God and her love of her community of the Sisters of Charity. Thank you to all the staff, doctors and residents who cared for Dawn as she journeyed her way into eternal rest with gentleness and dignity. Dawn will be missed. "Death is not extinguishing the light. It is putting out the lamp because DAWN has come"
