Dawn Lee “Dee Dee” Dumond Obituary (1960 - 2024)

Standish - Dawnlee “Dee Dee” Dumond, 64, passed away on April 14, 2024 surrounded by family. Dee Dee was born in Portland, Maine, and grew up in Gorham. Dee Dee had a deep faith in God and her favorite place to go was White River Christian Camp Meeting. This was her special God place where she went every chance she could. Ole White River has been a refuge for the entire family for generations. Throughout her life, Dee Dee was known for her unwavering faith in God which provided her with strength and resilience through all the challenges she faced over the years. She became involved in ovarian cancer support groups and formed close bonds with others facing similar challenges. A social butterfly, Dee Dee cherished time spent with family and friends, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come. She touched every person she encountered, no matter how short or long the time was. If she was dropped in the middle of 10,000 people, by the time she reached the outside, she would have affected 5,000 and the other 5,000 just didn’t know it yet. Dee Dee is survived by her loving husband, Burt Dumond of Standish; and her five children, Kevin Wright and wife Heather of Waterboro, David Wright and wife Lena of Waterboro, Jamie Lynn Dumond of Westbrook, Ryan Dumond of Sacramento, CA, and Brett Dumond and wife Ashley of Scarborough; her siblings, Lorrie Dobbins and husband Melvin of Standish, Mark Wormwood and wife Donna of Fort Pierce, FL, Tod Wormwood and wife Jean of Fort Pierce, FL, Paula Fox and husband Jim of Gorham, Jay Morse and wife Jodi of Otisfield, and Heath Morse; seven cherished grandchildren, Mark, Rylie, Luke, Baylee, Ruth, Isaac, and Nathan; her father David Wormwood and stepmother Monique of Standish and her mother Sandra Mason and deceased stepfather Roger of Gorham; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dee Dee’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at her cancer treatment center and Affinity Hospice, especially Jessica, Jodi and Roxi for their compassionate care. They are also thankful for the support of Sweetie Sue and Juliette, who provided invaluable assistance with her care.
