   Rhea Dawn was a nurse for my mother Sylvia Kielian for almost six years at Bell Trace (since Mom arrived in Bloomington in May 2009). One of my mother's (& my) favorite people there, Rhea was a special and compassionate caretaker, and a truly wonderful person. Her laugh, her smile and wry sense of humor was genuine as was her kindness and respect for the people she cared for. Both down-to-earth and upbeat, she made a special effort to make regular contact with Sylvia and lighten her spirits. Rhea Dawn also traveled with me during those years at Bell Trace and with the decline of Mom's health and her death in January 2015. For all of this and for knowing Rhea Dawn I will always be grateful. Her vibrant and so full-of-life presence was a gift to so many; she is cherished and deeply missed. Sending my love and deep sympathy to Rhea's family. Marianne Kielian-Gilbert (& mother Sylvia Kielian).

   I am a resident of Bell Trace Assisted Living and Rhea was one of my nurses, and also a very good friend. For me, there will never be another person like Rhea. Rhea always took very good care of me, and did that in a kind and caring way. I'll miss her very much.

   Rhea was a bright spot in my workday. I could always count on her to answer a question about a resident or to carry out requests. She garnered a sincere love for people and for those that were under her care. As a boss, I couldn't ask for a better employee. As a nurse I couldn't ask for a better nurse to work with. She is and will always be terribly missed at LifeSpan Home Health Care at Bell Trace. I wish I had a dozen like her, If I did we could conquer the world! I love you Rhea, thank you for coming into my life. I will see you again some day. To her family: She was such a wonderful person. I am so sorry for your loss.

   I have only recently been lucky enough to get to know Rhea Dawn from working together at Bell Trace. She always brought a sparkle and smile to every situation and everyone around her. Her presence in this world will be sorely missed, but her soul will be an ongoing inspiration to all who knew her.

   I worked with Rhea at Bell Trace. She had a gentle, loving, and fun spirit. She never knew a stranger and treated everyone with kindness and respect. She was truly one of a kind. I will miss her dearly. Your family is in my prayers. May God wrap his arms around you and comfort you during this difficult time.

   I worked with Rhea Dawn at Autumn Hills. She was a good friend to me, a good nurse and a very caring and generous person. I am sorry for her passing. You all will be in my prayers.
