Dawn S. Cyzan, 85, Wausau, formerly of Marathon, died Friday, November 11, 2016 surrounded by her family, under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care and Hospice Services at Mountain Terrace, Wausau. She was born December 18, 1930 in Wausau, daughter of the late Lawrence and Anna (Hohndorf) Hoeft. On February 18, 1950 she married Michael Cyzan in Milwaukee. He survives. After Dawn's mother passed away at the age of 43, she raised her three young sisters and later adopted three children. She was an excellent cook, liked singing in the choir, listening to all types of music and had a collection of many albums. She also enjoyed crafts and attending events like art in the park. In her younger years, Dawn and Michael did a lot of traveling and she made sure to bring a bell home from each location for her collection. They worked hard and after a long day they would invite their many friends over for card parties. Above all, she loved her family and cherished time spent with them.
