Dana Joan Schreiber

I met Dana in the early 70´s when she came in my salon to have her hair done. We had a professional relationship until I retired 4 years ago. Over all those years we became friends and continued to keep in touch every few months. Dana was her own woman, lived her truth, supported her friends and was committed to the community she lived in and loved. She was the absolute best dog person I have ever met! Anytime you asked about her beloved dogs her face would light up in a huge smile.....

She was a hurricane that I never expected to stop blowing. I donated in her memory to the Madison Public Library Foundation.

So sorry to hear.

Dana was a long time close friend in the 13 yrs I lived in Madison and many visits after but had not seen her since my last visit in 2018... called her on her BD but just left a message... just learned of her death today after a FB message from a mutual friend in Madison.

Dana used to bring her little service dog Pierre to visit my mother who was confined to a care home during her last few years. Those visits brought so much joy to my mom and the other residents. Our family is grateful to Dana for her thoughtfulness and her friendship with my mother. Our condolences to Dana's family and friends at this time.

My on again/off again friendship with Dana spanned over 40 years, two amazing trips to Japan and so many life moments and dogs shared along the way. So very grateful to have known her. She was a one-of-a-kind person - honest, generous, ever-curious, highly opinionated and equally transparent. She gave us all the gift of her wonderfully contagious sense of humor with a laugh that just drew you right in. Can´t believe you´re gone.

I've known Dana for exactly 36 years this month .... as we were both appointed members of the City of Madison's Public Health Commission in April, 1989 by Mayor Paul Soglin. Dana was insightful, and a delight to serve with on that City committee -- and it was the start of our friendship. Dana was outraged at the recent imposition of an Ambulance Fee by the City of Madison -- when health care is so obviously a human right, and not an opportunity to fund city services. She and I would...

Miss you Dana
