She married Taft Mangas on June 9, 2016 in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, and then validated their marriage at St. Gerard's Catholic Church by Fr. Jim Szabonya and he survives in Lima. Also surviving is her mother Crissie (BJ) Shock of Wapakoneta, Ohio; children: Caitlyn Wagoner and Matthew Miller; paternal grandmother who raised her Nina Marchal; siblings: Tonia (Eric Summers) Childers, Jeff (Liza) Edwards, Tabitha McCrory and Neal (Kelsey) Pangle; nieces and nephews: Destiny Edens, Tayla Edens, Gracie and Chelby Childers, Kylie Reier, Cierra Florea, Campbell and Charlie Smith and Autumn Edwards; great-nephews: Aeydn, Landyn, Remington, Kaston, Ollie, Hudson and Kason; great-niece Nae'omee; father-in-law Kevin (Nancy Wagner) Mangas, mother-in- law Geri Mangas; sister-in-law Christine (Brett) Smith; cousin Jonah Cabrera and her canine companions Tazz, Joey and Annie.

Dayna began her career helping others as an STNA and then became an LPN, she graduated as a Register Nurse from Rhoades State College, finishing her schooling while battling cancer and last month passed her State Nursing boards. She enjoyed working with the elderly at the Cridersville and Elmcroft Nursing facilities. She was a member of the St. Gerard's Catholic Church and enjoyed riding motorcycles, painting, travelling with her husband Taft and a good glass of wine. Dayna was a strong-willed individual who would help anyone in a time of need. Throughout the time with cancer, Dayna was a warrior, she was resilient and always put others before herself, she helped take care of her niece and her contagious smile would brighten anyone's day.

So sorry for your loss. When my parents were alive you were great neighbors for them. You have no idea what you meant to my Mom after my Father passed away.
God will get you through this.
