She was a devoted wife, mother, and friend who always had time for others. Dawna was married to the love of her life David Keenan for over 24 years. She was a loving mother to Melissa, Tim, and Savanna. Dawna was a faithful member of Greenback Memorial Baptist Church for over 15 years. She loved to do many things in the church from playing the violin to making her personal, hand-crafted cards that encouraged so many and helped them through difficult times. Dawna helped in many roles of the church over the years including being a Sunday school teacher and staying and helping with our elderly. She worked many jobs over the years, but her favorite job was as a manager at Amvets thrift store in Knoxville where she got to be a blessing and help serve her veterans. She is preceded in death by her (parents) Willam H and Betty L Braglin, (sister) Diane Braglin, (brother) Danny Braglin, and (son) Timothy Smallwood.
