Dasha Kate Cleary, 20, born on October 7, 2001, of Dunkirk, Maryland passed away in the early morning of January 27, 2022. Dasha is survived by a very loving family who all adored her. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin with a rare ability to make you smile and laugh, even on the lowest of days.
Dasha went to Northern High School. She was an amazing student, spending time with kids with disabilities when she could, interacting with her teachers daily, and had a unique ability to create and build relationships with people of all backgrounds. She was employed full-time and working to become a self-sufficient independent adult – a feat often met with obstacles. No matter the challenges, she let her positivity and love shine through. Dasha was a very outgoing, beautiful soul whose life was shortened far too soon. It was a privilege to have known her, loved her, and have been a member of her family.
In lieu of flowers and cards, the family is asking that donations be made to Project ECHO online at https://projectecho.net/donate/ or at Project ECHO P.O. Box 2764, Prince Frederick, MD 20678. The family celebrated her life in a private ceremony near the water where Dasha loved being.
