Dana Glaeser, a beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Motown music enthusiast, born on January 14, 1954, gracefully took her final bow on September 13, 2023. Survived by her sons, Jason Glaeser (Hayley Glaeser) and Kevin Glaeser ( Lauren Glaeser),  her daughter, Kristin Glaeser, and her grandchildren she so adored;  Anthony, Annabelle, the late Rayne, Dylan, Mackenzie, Caleigh, and Courtney. Dana's legacy of love, resilience, and understanding will continue to echo through the lives of her cherished family and friends.

She loved planting flowers and reading. Dana was an admirer of authors Stephen King and Daniel Steel. Their books provided a solace and escape that she loved and often recommended to those around her. Music also played a vital role in her life, with Diana Ross and the sounds of Motown capturing her heart and soul. These were the melodies that filled her home and inspired the vibrant, harmonious spirit she had.

Dana found immense joy in exploring her favorite vacation spots, with Florida leading the list. She relished in the warmth of the sunshine and the tranquility the beach offered. The ocean, specifically the Gulf of Mexico overwhelmed her in the best possible way.  She always commented on its strength and its parallel to God. Locally, The Saddle Room held a special place in her heart. It was here that she spent many wonderful moments sipping pomegranate martinis by the fireplace, memories that will last a lifetime.  

Inspiring and driven, Dana navigated her life with a philosophy of strength, kindness, and understanding. The greatest lesson she imparted to her family was to always stick together and never back down. This mantra will continue to guide her children and everyone whose life she touched.

Mom did not want a full service. We will plan to have a Celebration of Life in her honor. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Dana's memorial fund. To contribute, please visit: https://everloved.com/life-of…

As we remember Dana, we celebrate a woman of incredible strength and wisdom, a loving mother, grandmother, and a true friend. Her memory will forever remain etched in our hearts and souls.
