Obituary

Dawn Elaine Rull, age 85, retired, Keypunch Operator at Muskegon Piston Ring, passed away at Trinity Health Hospital in Muskegon, MI on Monday, July 21, 2025, following a worsening of symptoms from a recently discovered heart valve defect and related complications. Dawn was born and raised in Muskegon, MI.

She was one of four children born to the late Eddie and Jane Andrew and was the beloved wife of Donald Rull Sr. for over 50 years. Dawn will forever be remembered by her beloved sons Don Rull Jr. and Robert Woodward, treasured granddaughter Halle Woodward, her younger brother Dickie, and devoted older twin sister Jane, many nieces and nephews, along with countless other friends and family whom were blessed to know her. Dawn loved her K-9 daughter Jacqui (Maltese), garage sales and thrifting, BINGO, shopping trips with adventure games, crafting, crocheting and quilting, playing cards, listening to gospel music (especially The Statler Brothers and Owen Mac), loving on friends and family, and creating general mischief. She hated the “F” word, but it was the first word to come out when things went south.


Dawn touched the lives of many people with her smile and generosity, and maintained her feisty spirit and trademark enthusiasm for all things family all the way to the end. Friends and family are invited to attend a Celebration of Life on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 11:00am at Wolf Lake Methodist Church, 370 Vista Terrace, Muskegon, MI 49442.
