Above all else, Dana loved her daughter, Naomi, fiercely and without reservation. Being Naomi’s mother was her greatest joy and proudest role, and her love will forever be a guiding presence in Naomi’s life.

Dana loved her family

more than anything in this world. Her mom, sister Evie, her grandma and papa held her heart in a way no one else could. They were her comfort, her strength, and the place she always belonged. She treasured sitting together, sharing meals, laughter, and quiet moments that didn’t need words. Being their daughter, sister, and granddaughter was one of Dana’s greatest joys.

Dana loved the Lord and was committed to growing her faith. She enjoyed attending church and found joy in learning about the Bible, seeking wisdom, comfort, and truth through God’s Word. Her faith in Jesus shaped the way she loved others with grace, compassion, and forgiveness.
