She was an Industrial Sales Representative, implementing research and development for the chemical industry from 1975-2015. Dana was extremely respected for her commitment to improve and develop product working with manufacturing and engineering. She was actively involved in many organizations both personal and professional.
Dana's first priority in her life was her family and loved ones. Anyone who knew her was aware of her unconditional love for her family and friends. She was completely devoted to being involved in every facet of their lives. She always had a vibrant, energetic love for all. There are no words to describe how she will be missed by family and friends. Now she is beginning her new journey with God and His love.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Emma Allen; father, Albert Felty and Ann Beck, whom she dearly loved.
Dana is survived by her unconditionally loved ones, soulmate and life partner of over 21 years, James Beck; daughter, Tara Raibley; son, Marshal Raibley; and God blessed her with grandson, to whom she and Jim were Nana and Papa, Dylan Saint-Pre, all of Newburgh, Indiana. She enjoyed very special relationships with sisters, Donna Felty and Denise Felty, second mom, Dorothy Felty; and several nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her extended family, Todd and Angel Beck, she was Nana Dana to Noah Swanson and Dani Beck of Indianapolis, Brad and Bridget Beck, and their children, Madeline, Zachery, Izze and Ellie Thomas of White Rock, New Mexico, Amy and Geoff Beltzhoover of Bozeman, Montana. She also had a relentless devotion to grandpuppies, Yadi, Prince and Xena.
