In the 60's Dana worked along side her father at the South Mountain Gin in Laveen, AZ. In 1979 Dana and Carol opened a steel fabrication business where they worked side by side until retiring in 1997 and moved back to their home state of Oklahoma. They lived in Kingfisher, Ok for 20 years before moving to Tecumseh, Ok.
Dana was an exceptional seamstress, fantastic cook (made the best cinnamon rolls) loved to cross stitch and loved puzzles. She loved watching Hallmark movies and listening to classic country music. She loved being a grandmother. She had a smile that would light up the room and a laugh that was contagious.

She is survived by her loving husband of 69 years Carol D. Shilling, her daughter, Nansi (Don) and her son, Allen (Susan).
