She is preceded in death by her parents Elizabeth and A.J.; brothers and sisters: Clark (Bethea), Lola (Dave), Irene (Fred), Beatrice (Theo) Oliver, Jimmy, Walker and brother-in-law, Guy. She is survived by her only daughter Pamela (Mark), grandsons Erron and Braxton, and sister Barbara, brother Bill (Kathy), sister-in-law Betty and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and great-great nieces and nephews. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Dana will miss her so very much. Dana kept our family laughing and smiling together for many years. She loved her family unconditionally, especially her grandsons. There are no words to express the void she has left in our hearts with her passing. A Mass was held at St. Monica's Catholic Church in her honor. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations in Dana's name be made to the American Diabetes Foundation.
