Dawn Tuckwood
Obituary
Dawn Tuckwood passed away peacefully on December 26, 2020 at the age of 78 as a result of kidney disease.
Dawn was born in Pennsylvania and called multiple East Coast states home until 1985 when she moved to California. She was preceded in death by Jay Tuckwood, her husband of 36 years, as well as her mother, father, and beloved brother (Rick Hofmann). She is lovingly remembered by her three children (Jeff Tuckwood, Siiri Hage and Heidi Kobata), 5 grandchildren (Emily, Ryan, Jayda, Jacob, and Kelly) and her dear friends.
Dawn was an active community member, taking the role of Homeowner's Association President in her Milpitas neighborhood for over a decade. And she was named "Volunteer of the Year" for her work with The City of Gilroy. Dawn's ashes will be laid to rest in a private ceremony post-COVID. With a zest for life, there is no doubt that Dawn and Jay are once again riding the heaven superhighway on their motorcycles, reunited with friends and family that have passed before them. We love and miss you!
