Dana and Chris were avid travelers and loved traveling with their children and grandchildren, cruising to Grand Cayman, exploring Hawaii and road-tripping the East and West Coasts. Truly young at heart, Dana loved to make memories with her family at concerts, sporting events and vacations. Most of all, she treasured quality time with her loved ones, regardless of activity or venue.
Dana attended Nocona High School and later earned her licensed vocational nurse diploma. As a nurse, Dana primarily worked with the elderly, hospice and most recently with dementia patients at James L. West Alzheimer Center. Dana was a woman of many talents. She was an exceptional cook and her incredible dishes were known far and wide. Dana was a skilled event planner and crafter who loved throwing elaborate, personalized birthday parties and trips. She was a talented singer and even recorded a country album.
More than anything, Dana’s biggest passions were her four grandchildren. Dana was incredibly funny, strong, intentional, determined and known for her independent spirit. Dana had a servant’s heart and gave her all to everyone she met. She cared for each and every person she knew. Her commitment to helping others will continue as Dana chose to be an organ donor.
She is preceded in death by her father, Billy Brown.
