Dreama McDaniel Obituary
April 26, 1939 - July 6, 2021
Dreama Dare Sandridge McDaniel, 82, loving and dedicated wife of Lloyd David McDaniel Jr. of Waynesboro passed away on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at her home.
Born April 26, 1939 at UVA Hospital in Charlottesville, she was the daughter of the late Dennis Venable Sandridge Sr. and Ruby Mulford Glass Sandridge.
Dreama was a member of Waynesboro Church of the Brethren and a faithful follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a proud grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of 12. As an avid gardener, she had a green thumb that was unmatched. She loved to sew, cook, quilt, paint and had a passion for golf. Dreama had a natural creativity for cross-stitch, crocheting, quilting, and knitting. She had a zest for life that included a love for antiques and Sunday afternoon drives in the countryside. Dreama was also a licensed cosmetologist and successful business owner of Looking Good Hair Design of Waynesboro.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter, Linda Marie Ellis; and brothers, Dennis Venable Sandridge Jr. and Melvin Sandridge.
Survivors include her husband of 64 years, Lloyd David McDaniel Jr.; children, Tina Ortiz of Waynesboro, Trena McDaniel (Linda) of Waynesboro, and Lloyd David McDaniel III (Linda) of Churchville, Va.; sister, Nancy McDaniel (Taze McDaniel Jr.) of Waynesboro; grandchildren, Robert Walter Turner III (Dina) Mayville, Mich., Jennifer Leigh Vess (Jeremy) of Waynesboro, Amanda Marie Tate (Justin) of Stuarts Draft, Ashley Meghan Kennedy (Michael) of Waynesboro, Lloyd David McDaniel IV (Esther) of Vernon, Va., Maria Nicole Ortiz, Staunton, and Bradford Owen Ellis (Becky) of Suffolk, Va.; 12 great-grandchildren; and numerous loving nieces, nephews and friends.
A funeral service will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at Waynesboro Church of the Brethren, 364 Bridge Ave., Waynesboro with Pastor Dot Mellot officiating. Burial will follow in Augusta Memorial Park.
Active pallbearers will be Nolan Vess, Jeremy Vess, Davis McDaniel, Brad Ellis, Robert Turner, and Derek McDaniel.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY. I ENJOYED THE TIMES WHEN DREAMA AND DAVE WOULD COME BY THE ANTIQUE SHOP AND SHE WOULD TELL ME ABOUT HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, SHE WAS SO VERY PROUD OF ALL OF THEM. KNOW THAT SHE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU IN YOUR HEART AND MEMORIES. TAMMY AND ROBERT LAYNE LAYNES ANTIQUES

I am deeply sorry that I cannot attend the service for Dreama. I have volunteered to do the church alter flowers for my friend, Linda Livick, Fort Defiance, that must be in place at 9:30 Saturday for the 11:00 Memorial Service at Old Stone Church. I just saw the obituary in the Waynesboro paper this morning and I am distressed that I cannot be with you. I would so love to reconnect with each of you and send my love and condolences. I remember her well and pray for your peace.

Aunt D
rema was an amazingly talented woman. I think of all of us in the family, her life reflected so much of her mother's talent s. I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Dreama. While raising her kids, I can remember what a stylish woman she was. While her family was young, she could take the simplest things and make them look luxurious. And boy could she wear them. I will miss her. I am so glad I got to see her and Uncle Dave just a few weeks ago looking so well. I know you're with the angels Aunt drema. Tell everyone hello.
