She is survived by her children, John Dawn III, Carolyn Zakis and James Dawn. Margaret was proud of her Arizona heritage with her family coming to Tucson by covered wagon in the 1870's and being a UofA graduate. During WWII she worked in Nogales for the Navy Dept. censoring international communications because of her fluency in English and Spanish. There she met her husband, who was stationed with the Army. After marrying at the end of the war and living in Phoenix until their first son was born, the family moved to Chicago, IL where the family grew and Margaret taught Spanish at Roberto Clemente and Tuley High Schools. After retiring they moved back to Tucson, where she was active in many organizations and the Catholic Church. Margaret loved her family, every person she met, a funny story and social events.
