Dawn Bennett Obituary

Dawn Denise Bennett

Dawn Denise Bennett, of Findlay, passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 25, 2025.

She was born February 25, 1969, in Findlay, to the late William "Dean" and Carol (Smith) Litten. Dawn was a 1987 graduate of Findlay High School and went on to earn a degree in fashion merchandising at Stautzenberger College. Dawn began her career with Delta Air Lines in 1989, dedicating more than three decades to the company she loved. Yet Dawn's greatest joy and proudest accomplishments were always her three children and her cherished grandchildren.

Dawn loved nothing more than being surrounded by the people she loved. Whether it was a holiday gathering, traveling with her kids, or just spending time together, she found her greatest happiness in those moments. Family was her heart, her comfort, and her greatest source of joy.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, William and Hannah Bennett of Jenera; daughter, Paige Bennett of Cincinnati; son, Gabe Bennett of Columbus; two granddaughters, Blair Bennett and Harper Bennett, and her first grandson on the way. She is also survived by her brother, Troy Litten of San Francisco, California.

Dawn was preceded in death by her parents, William and Carol Litten and her brother and sister-in-law, Trent and Ingrid Litten.

A Celebration of Life will be at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Coldren-Crates Funeral Home in Findlay.
