Mary Dawn Dolan, 61, of Oswego, IL passed away peacefully surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with tongue and throat cancer on Sunday, November 10, 2019 at Batavia Rehabilitation Center. Throughout her many illnesses, surgeries, radiation treatments and rehabilitations, Dawn never complained. We would always say she was one tough Luxembourger, or one tough cookie. Today on her passing we will simply say she was one Tough Beautiful Lady. Dawn, affectionately known as Queen or Queenie to her family and friends, was born December 28, 1957 in Aurora, IL.

She is survived by her son John "JD" Dolan of Aurora, IL; her former husband Daniel T. Dolan of Aurora, IL; her brothers and sisters Mark Heimann of Aurora, IL, Ruth (Bobby) Jenkins of Yorkville, IL, Lisa (Mark) O'Malley of Yorkville, IL, and Paul (Silvia) Heimann of Big Rock, IL; her aunts and uncles Sr. Mary Doralle (Margaret) Gering, Elynor Gering, Dick (Nan) Gering, and Alice (Edward) Mosher; her father-in-law Daniel D. Dolan; her brothers-in-law Brian (Kathy) Dolan and Ryan (Maritza) Dolan; her sister-in-law Kara (John) Laudi; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and her loving caregiver of 7 years Dana Olivo.

She was preceded in death by her parents Theresa (Gering) and Richard Heimann; her sister Lura Heimann; her paternal grandparents Susan and Rudy Heimann; her maternal grandparents Dorothy and Albert Gering; her uncle John Gering; and her aunt Betty (Jim) Foley.
