of Searcy, AR
January 8, 1945 - June 6, 2022
Dawn Marie Magness, age 77, formerly of Mountain Home, Arkansas passed away peacefully on Monday, June 6, 2022. Dawn was born January 8, 1945 in Springfield, Missouri to the late Ken and Nannie Lee (Doedy) Trammell. She was married for 56 years to her college sweetheart, Paul Ernest Magness, Jr.
Dawn graduated from Mountain Home High School in 1963, and she received a B.S. in Education, with an emphasis in early childhood, from the University of Arkansas, Little Rock in 1967. Following graduation from college, she worked as a substitute teacher for the Mountain Home School District. She was active as a volunteer for CARTI while serving as a past board member. She was also heavily involved as a volunteer for Hospice of Mountain Home. She mentored students for the Literacy Council. She was a member, and actively involved, in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Dawn's favorite hobby was spending quality time with Paul. They both enjoyed their daily adventures together in town, shopping and enjoying meals together at their favorite restaurants. Dawn's second favorite hobby, and first favorite while doing so, was loving on all 6 of her Grandchildren. She felt blessed the most when she was having some form of interaction with just one or all her beloved Grandchildren. She valued her strong faith, which started at the age of 9 when she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She was a life-long member of First Baptist Church of Mountain Home while actively serving in her Sunday School Class and she loved each one of her Sunday School classmates dearly.
She is survived by her Son, Darren Magness (Melissa) of Searcy, Arkansas; grandchildren, Hannah, McKenzie, Addison, Barrett, Campbell and Bryce; Brother, David Trammell (Deb); Sister, Nan Ellen Trammell (Becky); Sister-in-Law, Donna Murphy (Randy); nephew, Curt Trammell (Lindsey), nephew, Bo Trammell (Willa); niece, Melissa Michael (Manville); nephew, Derek Murphy (Shannon) and several grand nieces and nephews.

I am sorry this is belated. However, we were both to upset with both deaths. We loved both of them and our time in pharmacy school and MH.

To my dear, dear friend, Dawn! I am in a state of shock as I found this obituary while trying to find a way to get in touch with Darren! I just talked to Hera couple of weeks ago when she called about Paul! My thoughts and prayers are with the family! Darren or Nan Ellen please give me a call sometime!

Darren, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. When my sister told me I was shocked by the news. Your mom and dad have reunited in heaven as they were on earth. May Gods hands lift you and your family and carry you in the days ahead.

2022 has been such a hard year for the Trammell and Magness family. First Doedy, then Paul just a week ago and now sweet Dawn. It has been a lot of loss in a very short period of time.
I have so many memories of wonderful times with Dawn. Our trip to Colorado where we laughed and made some priceless memories. The funny comments that would just pop out of her mouth at the most unexpected times and crack us all up. Dawn being the perfect hostess for family gatherings. The two of us escaping to the movies and taking photos wearing our huge 3D glasses while striking goofy poses. Such little things that meant so much. Dawn, you will be dearly missed.

A person who watched over every one and me. Her and Paul always have the highest complements to me and about me. We always kept in touch at least once a month. I will miss her dearly. But she is smiling highly with Paul . She will be my guardian angel. God bless

Oh, my dear, Dawn, I am sad to learn of your passing. And I had no idea that Paul just died a few days ago until I came to this page to leave a sympathy note. I have not doubt that you two are dancing together in Heaven. Thank you for always providing a reason for me to smile whenever we had the chance to visit. The world is a better place for both of you having been in it. God bless!

I knew she and Paul wouldn’t be apart long - they were loving and faithful partners in this life - and now for eternity. But we’ll miss them…
