DaLane Jean Dauch Campana, 57, of Lorain, passed away suddenly on Sunday, September 7, 2025.
Born in Norwalk, Ohio, on June 18, 1968, to William and Mona (Wolfe) Dauch, DaLane was a graduate of Western Reserve High School and EHOVE. She dedicated her life to caring for others-family, friends, children, animals, and anyone in need of a helping hand. Over the years she worked at Norwalk Raceway, Dauch Concrete, U.S. Lorain Steel Mill, in home health care, and as a childcare provider to numerous families.
DaLane was a proud member of Beaver Creek Yacht Club. She found joy in many things: riding motorcycles alongside her beloved husband, cheering at her grandchildren's activities, gardening and planting flowers, traveling to Marco Island to spend time with her parents, pampering herself with hair and nail appointments, and enjoying live music. More than anything, her greatest happiness came from her children and grandchildren, who were the center of her world and will miss her dearly.
She is survived by her loving husband, Pat Campana, whom she married on May 25, 2022; her children, Kyle Riffe, Justine (Zak) Karason, and Katie Foor; and her cherished grandchildren, Julianna, Jacob, Landon, Gianna, Ryleigh, Brody, Kenna, and Kenley. She is also survived by her mother, Mona Dauch; brother, Len (Elaine) Dauch; sisters, Deana (Dennis Justi) Sherman and Darnel (Tim) Patrick; sister-in-law, Kim (Norman) Behr; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, William Dauch, and her brother, Bill Dauch.
