Obituary For Dawn Marie Luciano

Dawn Marie Luciano, 49, of Fall River, Massachusetts, passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024, at Rhode Island Hospital after a brief illness.

Born on May 31, 1975, in Fall River, Dawn was the beloved daughter of Alphonse and Cynthia Luciano. Growing up, she was known for her kind heart, always eager to lend a hand and make a difference. From a young age, Dawn felt a calling to help others, and her nurturing spirit led her to become a dedicated nurse. She considered her patients her family, going above and beyond to care for them and ensure they knew they were loved and valued. Dawn’s warmth and generosity extended beyond her profession—she would give the shirt off her back or the last dollar in her pocket to anyone in need.

Dawn had an infectious personality that could light up any room. Her humor, warmth, and ability to make others smile were traits that defined her, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her granddaughter, Amelia, who brought her immense joy and pride. She often spoke and looked forward to spending time with all the grandchildren she would have one day, consistently asking her daughter Mia when she was going to give her one. Dawn also enjoyed the peacefulness of fishing and cherished long car rides with her favorite music blasting as she sang along.

Dawn was preceded in death by her beloved brother, Bryan Luciano, with whom she shared a special bond. She leaves behind her loving daughters, Tiffany Bennett and her husband Justin, and Mia Luciano and her fiancé Ryan Connelly. She is also survived by her mother Cynthia Luciano, and partner, Edward Higgins; brother, James Luciano; her sisters, Cheryl Vandermyde and Stephanie Rioux; and many nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly.

Dawn often spoke of the afterlife, and for those who knew her, please take comfort in the belief that she is still with us. She will continue to find ways to make us smile and laugh. Whether through a flickering light, a song that reminds us of her, or a penny left on the ground, look for signs of her presence.

Dawn’s legacy of love, kindness, and laughter will remain in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the lives of her children, granddaughter, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Mommy, you left us too soon, but we will love you forever. Your memory and spirit will remain in our hearts always. This is not goodbye, just see you later.

    Dawn helped train me to be the nurse I am today. She taught me to have a sense of humor with patients, she taught me to place catheters like a pro, and she taught me about the dignity of caring for a patient in their last moments. I will never forget her smile, her compassion for patients, or the knowledge that she passed on to me.
