Dana loved her family, her church family and her friends, but foremost of all, her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Those left to miss her include her husband of 49 years, Dan Chandler; one daughter, Tami (Doug) Cheesman and one son, Timothy Chandler; her sister, Glaythia (Tommye) Collins and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
