From Lion Maryah Tucker:

It’s with an incredibly heavy heart to share that my mom, Dawn Stanaway, has passed away. As you can imagine I am working through a world of emotions and figuring out what’s next. I’d appreciate your understanding in allowing me space — I will respond to what I can, when I can, in good time. I love and appreciate you all for your continued prayers, positive thoughts, and encouragement.

Mom’s obituary can be viewed here.

Cards may be sent to Lion Maryah Tucker, 1200 Millbrae Ave, Millbrae, CA 94030. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lions Eye Foundation, 711 Van Ness Ave #250, San Francisco, CA 94102
