AUGUSTA — The children of a Maine woman who was hiking in Nepal when an earthquake struck the nation have acknowledged that their mother is likely dead.

Dawn Habash has not been seen since the April 25 earthquake, which killed thousands.

The 57-year-old Habash was a yoga instructor from Augusta.

Her adult children, Khaled and Yasmine, said on Khaled’s Facebook page on Tuesday that “With the heaviest of hearts, our family acknowledges that our sweet, radiant Mumma Habash has passed away in the Nepal earthquake and subsequent avalanche in Langtang village.”

Yasmine Habash and her boyfriend went to Nepal to look for her mother, but were unsuccessful.

Her body has not been found.

Dawn Habash was visiting Nepal for the fourth time.
