Dawn Faith Tuffield (DeFoe) Passed away unexpectedly on Friday August 30th 2019 in Duluth MN at the age of 57.
Dawn is survived by husband John Tuffield, son Lee and Echo Bos, daughter Leigha and Ken Hashey, son John (Nate) Tuffield, step-daughter Kristen and Leroy King, step-son Graydon Tuffield, sister Alaina DeFoe, grandson Wyatt, and granddaughter Abigail.
She is preceded in death by mother Judith, father Francis, brother Dion and two grandchildren.
Dawn was born and raised in Duluth Minnesota. She graduated from Denfeld High School and then served for the United States Army as a combat medic. She was also a proud member of the Fond du Lac Chippewa Tribe. Dawn was always known for two very important things; her love of gardening and her love for her family. Dawn prided herself on her many gardens and ponds and enjoyed when people would stop to admire her yard. Dawn was also very much a matriarch for her family and took so much joy in being able to take care of her two beautiful grandchildren instead of them going to daycare. Dawn will be remembered for her genuine smile, undivided love, fierce caring, many stories but most of all her addictive laugh.
Visitation: Friday, September 6th, 2019 at 2pm until 3pm funeral service at the Cremation Society of Minnesota, 4100 Grand Ave, in Duluth.

The Fond du Lac Band is one of six Chippewa Indian Bands that make up the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. The Fond du Lac Reservation was established by the La Pointe Treaty of 1854. Archaeologists, however, maintain that ancestors of the present day Chippewa (Ojibwe) have resided in the Great Lakes area since 800 A.D. Today, our Band includes over 4,200 members. The Ojibwe name for the Fond du Lac Reservation is "Nagaajiwanaang", which means "where the water stops".
