Mrs. Dawn Frady

March 7, 1959 - August 19, 2020

On Wednesday, August 19, 2020, M. Dawn Frady, beloved mother, wife, grandmother, sister, daughter, aunt and friend peacefully passed away, way before her time, with her family by her side. She was only 61 years old. In her final day she fought a hard fight until the Lord called her home and relieved all her sickness. We know she is with God now but will forever live in our hearts. She was a beautiful, sweet, kind, soul whom loved her family deeply and would do anything for anyone that needed her. Dawn was born on March 7, 1959 in Houston, Texas to the late Robert and Margaret Frady. The family moved quite frequently when she was younger due to her father’s job but she eventually found her happy place in Marietta, Georgia where she attended high school. Not long after high school at the age of 19, Dawn married and had her daughter Ryan whom she had predicted would be a redheaded little girl. She was over the moon and infatuated with Ryan and being a mom. Dawn was an extremely hard worker. She passionately owned and operated a wallpaper business for many many years before changing careers to a charwoman for the past 25 years when she gleefully found out she was expecting her son, Cody. She had always wanted a son and the Lord delivered. One of her greatest joys in life was being a mom. She also loved her clients like family and was very passionate about her career. May 5, 2007 Dawn married her true soulmate, Jeff Gravett. She had never been so happy or in love as she was on her wedding day and their love grew more and more day by day until the end. They planted their roots in Dallas, Georgia. Jeff was her rock and she leaned on him and loved him more than words can express. Dawn had longed to be a Grammie and her prayers were finally answered on March 30, 2019 when her little redheaded grandson McCauley Quinlan was born. She couldn’t have been more proud to be a Grammie. Thank you Jesus for the love bestowed upon Dawn by all her beloved family and friends. Anyone that knew Dawn knew how much she absolutely loved the beach. Just like her Mom, there is really no place she would rather be than on the beach. She had been a beach bum her whole life starting with her younger days at Jekyll and St. Simons Island’s where she spent time with family. Her love of gardening and floating in her pool gave her hours of enjoyment, along with long walks with her dog Sosa and sitting on her front porch with her husband, cats and any visiting friends that may have stopped by. Dawn loved to socialize and always had an open door policy. She is survived by her husband Jeff Gravett, children Ryan McCauley Quinlan (Patrick) and Cody George, grandson, McCauley Quinlan, sister Celia (Ted) James, brothers Bob (Teresa) and David (Dena) Frady and many other nephews, cousins and extended family. She loved her family above all else and will be sorely missed by so many. A special thank you to all the family and friends for their loving care and support during her final days. She truly felt loved and comforted. Per Dawn’s wishes, she will be cremated and there will not be a service however the family will be holding a visitation on Saturday September 5, 2020 from 1:00-3:00PM at Jeff Eberhart Funeral Home in Dallas, GA.
