For most of her life she was a homemaker, mother, and caregiver to many many children over the years. For the last 20 years, she had devoted her time in many roles with her church. She was consistently involved in the children's ministry and serving in many capacities. She was also involved with the lamplighter organization. One of her fondest and proudest moments was the mission trip she took to Haiti, where she was able to shower multiple families with her love of God. She was always known for her love of Jesus by the way she served and loved others. She was known to be loving, friendly, and always having fun or being silly. She loved her people and most importantly loved her family.

Family was always so important in Dana's life, especially her grandchildren. Dana was so blessed being the nana to 6 wonderful grandchildren, Dylan, Daidrick, Kolten, Timothy, Skigh, and Keygan. Her life revolved around them, she was devoted to showing up to their school functions, sports and various activities they were involved in. She also made sure they had everything they wanted, took them to the movies, out to eat, go-karting, fairs, and vacations. She was truly an amazing nana.
