Death expenses for Dawn E. Olds

Donation protected
My name is Barbara Wright and I'm asking for funds to assist my family of choice "big brother," Bill Olds with the unexpected death expenses of his beloved soul mate of 48 years. Bill's wife Dawn E. Olds was killed in an auto accident on Saturday, July 15, 2023 as she left their home in Angier, NC at 6:36 pm to pick up Bill at his part time job at Walmart. Bill did not know for several hours why Dawn was not arriving to pick him up, there was no notification from the police or hospital where Dawn was admitted. Her death was recorded by the hospital at 8:47 pm. Bill, a 1969 graduate of Grandview Heights High School, unraveled the hours leading up to her death by checking their Ring door app to view her leaving to pick him up and then tracking the location of the demolished car to an impound lot with the use of location services on her iPhone, that was still in the car. Any donation, no matter the amount, would be appreciated. Dawn was a lover of all living creatures, she photographed flowers, insects, wildlife and her precious dog, Lady, who predeceased her. She was a passionate voice for the underserved and knew no strangers. Above all else, she loved Bill and was at his side every step of their shared journey, advocating for his healthcare through heart and cancer treatments this past decade. As fate (and Dawn!) would have it, she left the freezer stocked with premade meals. I will keep her Happy Mother's Day greeting to me on my voicemail, reminding me of the time, attention and energy she gave to her family of choice.
