I am deeply saddened by the news of Dana’s passing. I had the good fortune of working with her for several years when I was an active member of the Society for Teachers of Family Medicine. Dana was unfailingly kind and awesomely. She was a true servant leader who will be greatly missed. Through her leadership and stewardship of STFM she touched the lives of countless professionals and learners, and the students and patients they serve. This is a remarkable legacy.
Mike, so very sorry to hear of Dana’s passing. We loved Dana and your family as so many others have and do. Our prayers for comfort are with you, Ross and Jay. Our family has been blessed to be your friends for a very long time. Passing on our continued love for all of you.

Praying for all of u🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. What a huge loss for this world, she was an amazing person, and brought such light .
Dana was my sorority sister at CMSU but more like a true sister to me! We shared so many special moments together in college. I will never hear Prince’s “Purple Rain” without thinking of her. After college, our reunions were few and far between but we both married wonderful men and were blessed to be boy moms and baseball moms. She was always a sweet and gentle spirit who I look forward to seeing again on the other side!!
Mike,Ross, and Jay we are so sorry for your loss. Dana was such a bright light. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. The Scott and Lisa Smithpeter & Family

To Dana’s family – Although you do not know me I knew Dana for many years through STFM. She was such a lovely person, always so helpful and kind. I am sure you will miss her terribly and I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed also by those of us who only knew her a little. Valerie Gilchrist
Dana was an amazing spirit, an agile numbers-juggler, a compassionate and supportive mentor to those of us who got into the financial weeds of grants, budgets and programming in STFM. She has always been highly respected and touched the souls of those who she mentored, me included! I am so sorry for your loss.
I knew Dana through her work at STFM. She was sooo good with people and money. Kind and fair and smart. Really a joy to work with. My condolences to all who loved her.
