Dawn Wells Obituary

I always loved your character on Gilligan’s Island,so friendly and personable, I’m glad that I have lady friends that exemplify your personality. I’m sure glad that I can watch the show now on DVD and you tube,thanks to you and the rest of the cast for bringing laughter into our homes.

The world was brighter with Dawn in it. I always loved seeing her on television. She was beautiful inside and out. A ray of beautiful sunshine that I will always miss. She had beauty and a magnetic charisma. We miss your lovely presence and grace in this world. To me, she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Dawn you were such a beautiful lady. You did so much for others and always were so thoughtful and sweet. RIP

Rest In Heaven

My condolences to the family and to the living co-star Tina louise who became much more than family and a co-star from the Gilligan's island.

Dawn, I am a few years late. I just came across your passing, it made me sad to see you have left. Thank you for all the laughs and smiles, everyday after school. I hope to run into you one day in the future. I hope we will both end up at the same place.
❤

We miss you as one of the very few down to earth women in the world. RIP ps, we are still waiting for that call.

We Truly Love You Dawn and Miss Your Beautiful Smile. RIP.

A Beautiful person from college days in Columbia, Missouri at Stephens College. R.I.P.

Thinking of You, Dearest Dawn Wells, as We are watching a "Weekend Marathon" of Gilligan's Island and all of the Early memories of Our Childhood coming back to Us. It's hard to believe that it has been over 2-Years since Your Passing. A beautiful Actress as "Mary Ann" made Our Youth so precious
You are truly Missed.. May You, Rest in Peace, Dear Dawn..

Thinking of You, Dearest Dawn, and reminiscing of All the beautiful Smiles and Heartfelt Joy that Everyone felt Like whenever You were on TV or in Person. A Beautiful treasure that We were all Blessed to have Experienced. Rest in Peace.

Farewell Dawn,
I never had a chance to say goodbye.

Miss Dawn Wells I used to watch you as a child on Gilligan's Island I thought you were the most beautiful woman I've ever seen you will sadly be missed play rest in peace amen

We All Miss You, Dearest Dawn, and We will Never, Ever Forget You or Your Beautiful Smile... Rest in Peace, Kind and Gentle Soul...

All my life I have been a fan, of an Apple Pie girl named MaryAnn
Or, Coconut Cream, truth be told, and in life had better than a heart of gold
She’d give and then she’d keep on giving, it’s what made her life worth living
And while her mortal journey ends, her legacy will heal and mend
I lost a piece of my heart today, and I know it will not broken, stay
In time the hurt will pass, then fade, this tempest in my soul unmade
But for now, my spirit weeps, for an Angel who has gone to sleep
We’ll miss you Dawn, more than you know, and we really hate to see you go
I’ll look for you, come near or far, in the twinkling of a shining star

Remembering Dearest Dawn on this Veteran's Day Week, as She really supported & admired all Branches of Our Military.

One of the most beautiful women ever created. God Bless you Dawn.. you were loved by many

I met Dawn at U of W where she cast and directed me in the play ‘Hedda Gabbler’ that she directed for her graduation directorial credit. I so enjoyed knowing her- she was a glamorous upperclassman - wearing cool pancake make up and different hairstyles every week— something we provincial underclass men weren’t doing yet ! Dawn was very smart and focused! She dated a Husky football player who would pick her up after rehearsals! She had a sorority sister who went everywhere with her- I think this gal did Dawn’s hairstyles
Anyway it was fun- she actually tried to teach me how to smoke a cigarette for my character in the play.
I remember her fondly- I liked her a lot!!
Rest in sweet peace Dawn

she was like a beautiful rainbow
rest in peace dawn, god bless

You brought so much joy to so many with your character. We never missed a show. Thank you for so many laughs. You will always be missed.

Dearest Mary Ann: Missing You so very much. We read that You Loved to give Hugs to all of Your Fans and that You, too, Loved to Received many Hugs from Your Fans in return. RIP.

We all do Miss You Dawn, and Your Precious Smile... Rest in Peace, Sweetheart... Your Legacy will Live On Forever...

I will miss Dawn forever. I met her at a Hollywood show near Chicago & I have her autographed photo & she was so nice! Thank You, Dawn.

there will always be a special place in our heart for mary ann

I was so sad to read about Dawns passing. She was a big part of my youth. I never missed an episode. I know she will be missed

Dearest Dawn: Here it is already April 2021 and We Both are Thinking and Praying for You and Your Mom this Holy Week, as Easter is fast approaching... May You Both Rest in Peace...

I consider Ms Wells a part of my family, Growing up she was with me everyday after school and still is. I loved seeing all the castaways. over the years I have seen many Hollywood figures pass. Ms Wells was the only one I really cried over. I just felt I lost a big part of who I was. It is as if the America I grew up with, the one where we all had the same goals, values and traditions died that day as well. Her smile was always the best part of the show. Her honestly and genuine love is so sorely missed by me. I never met Ms Well, But I sure felt as if I knew her. She is missed more than I think anyone knows. I pray constantly that when she opened her eyes again our loving heavenly Father was there to embrace her and welcome her into the Kingdom of Heaven and I am so looking forward to seeing her there and talking with my childhood sweetheart.

RIP and Thanks for being the great Lady that U were.

Beautiful people like You, Dawn, come into Our Lives just Once in a Lifetime. Glad that We all had the privilege to have shared in and appreciated that kind of experience with You. Rest in Peace in Heavenly Bliss with Your Mom. RIP, Dawn.

You were simply amazing.

Many of us Baby boomers Loved Gilligan's island and especially Mary Ann and Ginger. Mary was my favorite on the show. RIP sweety. You are together with your Mom.

Thank you Dawn for your life and work. Thank you for bringing joy to my life everyday. Love Cesar. Los Angeles ,

Have a beautiful life with Jesus, Dawn. God Bless.

may god bless your beautiful soul you are greatly missed
rest in peace dawn

Dearest Dawn: You are truly, truly Missed. But You're alive and well in our Hearts. Rest in Peace, Dawn

Definitely a peak of my single days, my "grocery store date with Dawn Wells" the day before Thanksgiving 1979. The entire Chapter Two cast accepted my invitation for a pitch-in Thanksgiving dinner during their holiday off from their show week at Clowes Hall. Dawn knew a sweet potato soufflé recipe from her grandmother, utterly tasty--knew what she was doing. And awfully cute in line at the 38th & Illinois Standard Grocery and later at the stove, possibly needless to say! My boss, local promoter Bob Young, got accolades from the New York producer about this throw-together event. We also managed a group photo--have lost that over the years. Dawn was a fun and warm person, professional, candid about the uncertainty of show biz, a delight to know.

We will miss you. Rest in peace and we will meet on the other side

Every time I saw you I felt your warmth, your caring about your fellow human beings. You you be praised for your looks, your theatrical accomplishments but what really stands out was that you were just a nice person. RiP Dawn your Legacy will survive.

Gazing Up in the Sky on a Clear Winters Night, Dawn is the Brightest, Shining Star in the Heavens... Rest in Peace... We all do Miss You and Your Beautiful Smile, Dearest Dawn...

You will be missed

I liked knowing that Dawn was “out there” because as long as she was I was reassured that good, decent people were still out there in the world. Now one less. Rest in peace.

Grew up with Mary Ann and Dawn Wells Watching Gilligan's Island and the girl you dreamed of taking home to mom so dear and thinking of others first.
I was born in 1960 and watch all the eposoides and what a great talent we lost and a very dear person.
RIP Dawn/Mary Ann you will truly be missed by Millions.

RIP MARY ANN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEART

Dawn was, and still is, and will always remain, America's Sweetheart ... Rest in Peace, Dawn ...

Rest in peace my beautiful friend love Steven

I remember in the late 70's, when I was a teenager coming in after a school day & watching GI, Scooby Do & The Flintstones. Wonderful times. Dawn was my favorite GI character. She was so sweet & as cute as a button. I would have liked to have met her. She brought myself & the world many heart-warming smiles & memories. May I meet her in Heaven one day.

My Posthumous Tribute to Dawn Wells
(with regrets of not delivering this during her lifetime)

Dawn Wells attended the University of Washington and became my idol and mentor during the time we lived together in the Alpha Chi Omega house on 17th Avenue. I was a freshman at the time and she was a senior.

In most evenings after our studies, a group of us would gather in the lounge to visit with Dawn. We asked her questions, listen to her, and hung on to her every word as she was bigger than life, caring, and willing to share her thoughts and experiences with all of us. She was a well-known dramatic actress on campus, full of life and wisdom and was truly admired. Her presence and enthusiasm has remained with me throughout my life.

Soon after, she left the University and became a Hollywood Star. Sadly, I never contacted her again as I thought she was much too famous and too busy to remember me.

In December 2020, with a heavy heart, I read of her death due to Covid-19 complications. Then I experienced the personal sadness that I had not reached out to thank her for all the positivity she had given me in those early days when we lived together on 17th Avenue.

And so it goes... your regrets are not of the things you do in life, but of the things you don’t do or have left undone.

Margo T. Bourland

she was is and always will be the most sweetest and beautiful woman in the world GOD give her and her precious mother eternallife and rest in our Lord

Dawn was such a Kind and Special Lady... We Miss You, Dawn... Rest in Peace...

Dawn was a wonderful woman. God bless her Soul.

Dear Dawn. I wish I was younger. Then I would ask you out for a date. My how you are so pretty, lovely, and talented. My dreams ended when you left US! God as an angel and Dawn Wells Both.

So very heartbroken at your departure from your earthly home where your rare beauty of heart and soul graced us in so many ways. A childhood crush that I never really grew out of, we thank you for all the many years of smiles and laughs you gave us. We thank the Father to who you return for blessing us with your presence, but sadly for a time shorter than we had hoped. Rest in dear peace and know that your family and fans will miss and love you always.

We met Dawn when she bought her Teton Valley Idaho home. She autographed her cook book at the local bookstore, while I was holding my toddler. Boy, was I excited when se called our home to invite us to her New Years Day brunch! GI was my all-time fav show growing up!! She held my messy toddler with her baked choc chip on him- cute pic. And she attended our church too with her big sunglasses. So kind and sweet. Will cherish this memory forever along with the great reruns of GI:)

Truly, Dawn, You're so Unique and so Special. Rest in Peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You have always been a favorite of mine since I first saw you in the TV debut of "Gilligan's Island" in 1964. And my dream came true when I met you personally after your performance in "The Owl and The Pussycat" at the San Antonio Public Theater in the winter of 1972 when you engaged the audience in a question and answer session. You were so REAL and so beautiful and down-to-earth. Thank you for being in touch over the years. Thank you for sharing your talents and entertaining the entire world all these years--even today still. I've never forgotten you, and I never will. Love always. Rest in peace, Dawn.

So sorry you are gone too soon going to miss you.

Mary Ann was one of my favorite characters and she'll be miss but never forgotten

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
