Dawn L. Simpson, age 45 of Arlington lost her courageous battle with breast cancer Saturday August 2nd.

She was a loving, caring woman who had a love for life, enjoying each day's gifts of family and friends. For Dawn, her greatest gifts and joys were her sons, Tyler and Dylan. To see what fine young men they are becoming is the testament to the fact that her boys were the center of her world.

She is also survived by her parents, John and Peggy Kupfer, sister Jennifer Parker (Tim), brother's Gregg (Cheryl), Jeff (Lori), nieces and nephews and many, many friends. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Alyssa, who welcomed her mom into heaven with joy and loving hugs and kisses.

Funeral services will be Tuesday August 5th, 10:00 AM at Salem Lutheran Church in Fremont Nebraska with burial following at Memorial Cemetery. Luncheon will follow at the church. Visitation will be Monday August 4th from 3pm to 8 pm with family receiving visitors from 5pm to 8 pm at Ludvigsen's Mortuary in Fremont Nebraska.

Memorials suggest to family for her boy's educational fund.

FOREVER AND A DAY………. You will be missed

    I am so sorry for the loss of dear Dawn. May you as the grieving family find comfort in knowing that you are invited by our Creator, Jehovah God, to "throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 83:18) He is said to be "close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Take care and please accept my sincerest condolences.

    Dylan and Tyler, you had an exceptional Mother. I pray that her spirit stays with you. I know she was very proud of you both.

    This is not Good Bye, it is See ya later!
    Peg, John, Jennifer, Tyler, Dylan, Mark & Geri - may God comfort you and even though Dawn may not be in the physical world with you any more, she will always be with you spiritually. Keep her memories near and dear to your heart.
    Tyler and Dylan - Your mother loved you more than life itself and know she is watching and cheering you on each and every day! She is and always will be your biggest cheer leader and is VERY proud of the young men you have turned into.
    Love you all!!

    Mine was a unique relationship with Dawn. My wife and I were the first to meet Peg when my parents were divorcing. Under the Mormon Bridge. Dawn and Jenny were 13 and 11, respectively. They moved into the house on Keene and Cheryl and I baby-sat the girls from time to time. We also watched as my father became her father. I remember telling my father just how lucky Dawn and Jenny must feel to have him as their father. Dad was always everyone's favorite uncle. Lot's of fun to be around. At 83 he will attempt to be the best grand-dad to Tyler and Dylan to see them enjoy what life has to offer. Mark re-finished our basement when he and Dawn were divorcing. They came down before that so Mark could fix our roof. There's just so much, but I have to let it go. Only my father has more history with Dawn, Jenny and Peg. I recruited Dawn to go to Midland. I know she enjoyed her success in the business world. All of this was happening as my younger brother, Pud, deteriorated. He and Dawn are now anxiously awaiting my father's entry into heaven. In due time. The Lord is still using dad's expertise to exact structure and goodness in his families before he is called Home. To Dawn, Jenny and Peg: Thank you for taking care of my father for the last 32 years. Respectfully-Gregg

    I worked with Dawn at Baird Holm for several years and will remember her as a good friend. My condolences to your family.

    Dawn was a breathe of sunshine even on the darkest of her days. Her love of family sparkled in her eyes every time she updated us on "her boys." Her time with you was too brief, but her love for you will hold you forever.
  13. Teresa " T " Andersen
    I am thinking of you and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
  14. Diane Brown
    You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Tyler and Dylan your mom was the best, and to look at both of you, she is very proud of the young men you have become!
  15. Julie Henrichson
    I've known you since high school and although there was about 10 years of absence, we formed a bond I never thought we'd have. I will never forget how you've loved my children, Maegann & Noah, as your own. You welcomed them into your home and into your heart. They feel as if they've lost another mother since you were referred to as a second mom. Thank you for your heart and your influence on my children. I treasure our friendship and enjoyed our conversations. Rest in peace. You have won the race to meet God first!
  16. Monty & Jan hawk
    All of our love and prayers go out to all of you. May your memories and love for Dawn help you through this difficult time!
  17. CINDY CREASON
    Such a beautiful person with a big heart will be truly missed. Rest in Peace Dawn.

    My deepest sympathies are with the Simpson family as of the loss of their very caring, loving, and nice mother, sister, and daughter. Jesus had told Dawn to come into the light as she was worried what Dylan, Tyler, sisters, brothers, and parents would do with out her and Jesus said to not be afraid as they shall have a family reunion as they will all reunite into heaven and live peacefully in his arms...
    I LOVE MY GREAT FRIENDS DYLAN AND TYLER SIMPSON MAY GOD LOOK UPON YOU AND THE FAMILY....

    Rest in peace Dawn, we will always love and miss you

    Dawn, to say you will be missed is an understatement. Thank you for the friendship, love and kindness as they will all be missed, not just by me, but by any one who knew and got to know you. Your smile and laugh will be missed. You were a fighter to the end, to me a real HERO of never giving up and keeping the good fight. God thank you for the time we had with her and one day we will meet again. Love you Dawn, Forever and a Day...
