Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

It is with great sadness that the family of Dawn Kesler Ridenhour announces her passing after a brief illness on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at the age of 51 at Novant Health Rowan Medical Center in Salisbury, NC.

She was born November 23, 1968 in Salisbury, NC to Carolyn Eagle Kesler and the late Clinton Kesler. Dawn was a graduate of North Rowan High School. She was a member of Community Baptist Church, in her younger years she was an avid church goer, youth leader and very involved in the community.

In addition to her father, Dawn was preceded in death by her husband, Johnny Ridenhour.

She will be forever remembered by her daughters, Bailey Lauren Ridenhour and Sydney Brooke Ridenhour; mother, Carolyn Kesler; sister, Donna Kelser; step-daughters, Carmen Correll and family, and Morgan Jones and family.

There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

    Carolyn, Bailey, Sydeny, and Donna
    My heart has no words to say about your great loss. I know that each of you are grieving in your own way. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding Dawn’s passing, but JESUS does. JESUS is the only one that can give each of you what you need. I will be praying that each of you allow HIS great love to surround you during these most difficult of days. May you find the strength and peace that only JESUS can provide. Carolyn, you have been on my mind most recently and I have been praying for you. I understand that why the LORD brought you to mind. If I can help you by talking with you or praying with you. Please get in touch with me. Love you all in The LORD JESUS

    I can’t believe my sister is gone from us. I was so grateful to have been her sister. We have laughed, cried and argued over the years and had some heartfelt talks. I always told her I didnt know what I would do without her, I never thought I would have to find out. I love you so much Dawn and I will miss you and think of the times you made me laugh often. Bailey and Sydney, I love you both so much and I am so sorry.

    Sydney…. Bailey,
    Your mom was one of my best friends in life! So many memories of her high spirited, fun loving, kind hearted ways fill my mind. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen any of you, but we’ll always have our memories. I can’t imagine the thoughts and feelings that have just begun for you. Remember all the many positives she made in your life! Think about the good times shared with friends and family! Yes, God certainly does care about every one of them. I encourage you to use His strength with each day. May grace fill all the hurts and love embrace you as you search for what lies ahead. My continual prayers for you and the family.

    Always admired your love for others. Your work passion to serve others will not be forgotten. Jesus himself said He came to serve and not to be served. I am blessed that God allowed our paths to cross and witness the loved you shared for Him. Prayers lifted for your family.
