Dawn Caroline Thoms, 51, of New London Township, passed away on Saturday, May 2, 2020, under the care of Christiana Hospital of Delaware. Dawn was the beloved wife of Eric Thoms, with whom she shared 25 wonderful years of marriage.
Born in Elkton, Maryland, Dawn was the daughter of Sandy Andrew of North East, Maryland, and Mardis Ham of Elkton, Maryland. Dawn was a graduate of Goldey-Beacom College and was employed for 14 years by MBNA America of Newark, DE as a Project Manager.
Dawn enjoyed decorating and placing her signature style in the house. This truly made it feel like our home. Everywhere about the house and home point to her influence and style giving us warm comforting memories. Much of her time she enjoyed spending outdoors with her family and always had a series of projects lined up. Through these projects we learned of her strong work ethic and sense of priority. She loved animals and cherished the family’s pets, most recently a Siamese she called Snoopy. She raised three boys to become men while maintaining the household finances and ‘running the ship.’ Dawn will always be remembered for her vibrant personality and her strong compassion for others.
Dawn is survived, in addition to her husband, by her three sons, Robert Michael Sylvester, Sean Michael Sylvester, and Devon Eric Thoms. Dawn is also survived by her brother, Mark Ham, husband of Nikki, of Rising Sun, MD.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Wilde Funeral Home of Parkesburg. Online condolences can be posted at www.wildefuneralhome.com

As an only child my Cousins
As an only child my Cousins were the only "Brothers and Sisters" I knew and did an amazing job of always treating me as their Brother. Dawn and Mark are two of those many Cousins that I'll always be so thankful for. Many days, weeks, years playing on Nottingham Rd. while our Dads did the "man cave" thing in the garage out back. Another life taken way too soon... my sincerest condolences.
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. SENDING PRAYERS TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS. GOD BLESS.
Gone Too Soon
So many childhood memories from leapfrog, riding Mark's little 50 mini bike, to tap classes and gymnastics. Sending my deepest sympathy and condolences from my family to yours.

When I heard of Dawns passing my heart hurt. It hit me hard. My brother and I had just talked about Dawn and how much fun she was. We had so many good times starting back in middle school. I remember how she was always ahead of the style and fashion game with her chic clothes and stylish hairstyles. She was an asset to our class and will be remembered and cherished by so many of us. My deepest condolences to her family. May she go forth shining.
I have such wonderful
I have such wonderful childhood memories of Dawn and her family who lived on the same road. Such a tragic loss as Dawn was physically beautiful but the essence of her spirit was what everyone loved. I pray that God will surround you with His love, grace, and mercy during this very sad time. Sending my love to you all. Missy
Seems like a lifetime ago and
Seems like a lifetime ago and I haven't seen you in many years but the news of your passing is very sad and painful nonetheless. I, too, have wonderful childhood memories-riding my bike over to your parents' house in the summer, slumber parties, cheerleading, etc. What a vibrant, funny and thoughtful person. My condolences to your family and may God grant them strength and peace at this difficult time. Your old friend, Wendy
So sad to hear
My heart was so sad to hear about Dawn's passing. Dawn was such a beautiful lady inside and out. I met Dawn at North East High School and had the pleasure of being her friend. I was blessed to call her my friend. Prayers of healing to Dawn''s family. ❤️🙏🏻
My deepest sympathies to Dawn
My deepest sympathies to Dawn's family. I went to high school with Dawn and knew her to be a fun, popular girl with a zest for life. Peace and love to all that are missing her.
Dawn is my first cousin and
Dawn is my first cousin and one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. She was always smiling and I dont think I ever witnessed her in a bad mood. Incredible to say but also very true. Her children and husband are all fine men with great care and love in their hearts. Her brother Mark is a beautiful person as well and her parents, my Uncle Mart and Aunt Sandy (Dawns parents) have always been so extremely kind to my family. This is a shock to the family to say good bye to such a beautiful person. Heaven is hee home now but she will be missed. Until we meet again Dawn, I LOVE YOU!
I went to school with Dawn,
I went to school with Dawn, and though I didn't really know her because we never had any classes together, I did know she was a very kind person. I feel I know her now after reading this; she was obviously very loved and loved her family & friends very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through this difficult time.
