The spring break trip with the French club c. 1979?

Just before going out to our festive party.

Some event playing dress up. Daria, Amy Evans and I. I believe 1981. Fun night with my lovely friend Daria. 💕

Fun evening with Daria going out playing dress up!

Daria,

You had such a beautiful soul.  Our conversations got me through a lot at Ford.  I appreciate all you did. 

May you Rest in Peace.  My sincere condolences and prayers to the family 🙏🏽

Tilman and Family,

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your precious Daria.  I hope you find comfort in knowing that she was loved and a wonderful person.   Prayers and blessings to you during this difficult time.

My best,

Karen Newkirk
former Ford Motor Company colleague

Til,  my family and I share in your sorrow at this time of bereavement.  May God continue to nestle you in his bosom and bless your family.

. Intelligent, professional, filled with style, class and a helpful heart. Daria so loved and treasured her mom and dad for they were not only her beloved parents they were her best friends.  She loved to share much of her time dining, traveling, walks together, shopping, and benefiting from their wisdom. They always came first and they all took care of each other. Daria loved and treasured her brother, Mark and enjoyed spending time with him, both loving teasing and laughing together. She was always there to talk, love, and support him while always being so proud of all that he accomplished. She enjoyed her sister-in-law LaSharn and treasured and loved so tenderly her nephews, Sean, Evan, and Tillman to no end. Daria, I will always remember your love and excitement for dolphin and whale watching, traveling, and fine dining. I will miss your wonderful wit, fun loving teasing, your helpful heart, and most of all your listening ear while sharing your loving wisdom, and support. You are my best friend and I treasure all our travels throughout Michigan and the world, our long talks, dining, and just relaxing by the lake in peaceful silence.  I was blessed that you so generously shared your wonderful family with me with whom I love and treasure. I treasure and hold dear to my heart traveling and dining with your parents having the most wonderful loving and fun times while building the greatest memories. I appreciated and hold so dear being included when Mark and his family when they came into town and we shared a wonderful professional ball game and dinner always done with such class and grace. I love watching Daria talk and enjoy her nephews and being proud of their accomplishments and stories. I hold close to my heart seeing her huddled so close to her brother talking, laughing, and both endlessly teasing and laughing together. I will never stop missing and longing to talk with you my dearest friend, for I have truly lost a piece of my heart. 

I Love you, K.

Felecia Pryor

Dozier Family,

Daria was a lovely young lady who  possessed a smile that could light up a room. May it comfort you all to know she is now an angel watching over all those she left behind. So if you should find yourself needing to talk to her,  just think it and she will hear you and shortly there after you will  feel her reply in a simple light breeze, a warm feeling, or a touching memory that will make you smile. She will always be just a thought away and will live on in the hearts of those that loved her.

Respectfully

Mr. and Mrs. Dozier
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time of loss. May Daria rest in Peace and may you experience the Joy of the Lord in the morning.  Trouble don’t last always.

We extend our sincere condolences to you and your entire family during this difficult time.   We will keep you and your family in prayer and may Daria Rest in Peace.

Heartfelt memories of our daughter:
Your leaving has left us with grieving hearts and fond memories. We will miss your beautiful smile and warm embraces. You were our travel companion and organizer of exciting things to see and do. We were amazed and loved your artistic talents which were so vividly displayed in our 60th Anniversary memoir.
We admired the courage you showed in dealing with health issues over the years. We will miss hearing people say after having met you, “You have a beautiful daughter”. Now and then we were inclined to say, “We agree”. You always brought a ray of sunshine and brightened up our day because of your joyful attitude and kindness.
Your advice and counsel to friends, family and us were graciously given and well received. We will miss our telephone calls to decide where to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Your patience and loving disposition will always be with us. You were a “Special” daughter who left unforgettable footprints on our hearts.
We are not saying goodbye because you will live in our memories forever and we know that God promises a resurrection!
Lovingly, Mom and Dad

Daria was an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. She had the ability to light up a room with her presence and smile 🩷. I loved  running into her at Trader Joe’s, seeing her at meetings and over zoom, and spending time together at a Tea Party. I can’t wait to see her again. My heart goes out to all the family and our prayers are with you all during this difficult time. We love you 😘 

Christina & Derrick Crandall

Tillman & Margie,

Daria and I went to school together (Meads Mill, the Annex, and Northville High School on the hill) in Northville.  We also lived in the same subdivision off 6 and Bradner.  I lived on Winchester Court.  My brother Joe was friends with her brother, Mark.  I knew her from 7th grade - 12th.  I am saddened to hear of her passing.  She was  kind, smart, and I liked her very much.

Auntie Daria, your laughter echoed in our hearts, and your love embraced us with warmth and comfort. Your memory will forever be a beacon of joy, guiding us through the shadows of sorrow.

The countless moments we shared are cherished treasures that time cannot erase. Your kindness and gentle spirit left an indelible mark on our lives, shaping us into the individuals we are today.

As we bid you farewell, Auntie Daria, know that your love endures within us. We will miss you so, so much!

With love,
Sean and Evan

Your radiant smile and gentle spirit touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know you. The memories we shared are etched in my heart, and your absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.

As your little brother, I witnessed your unwavering love, kindness, and the joy you brought into our lives. Your journey may have taken you beyond our sight, but your love remains a guiding light in our hearts.

This is how I will remember you, dear sister. Your memory lives on in the countless lives you've touched.

Mr and Mrs. Dozier
With deep condolence I send this note of sympathy in the loss of your daughter, Daria. May her soul be at rest and in perpetual peace. May the Lord be a present help in this time of trouble. Mr. Dozier and Marjorie….,,,,I am praying for you and your Family. Jennifer Richardson Blannon.🙏🏾❤️✝️🛐

My heart is absolutely broken by the loss of my wonderful and dear friend, Daria. She will be greatly missed by the many, many people she touched with her kindness and generosity. I will live the rest of my days in honor and memory of her.

What a beautiful woman. Jim and I never had the pleasure of meeting Daria but knowing her patterns she must have been a phenomenal person. God bless her soul and may her memory be eternal. 
Jim & Maria 🩷

Daria..attended my Arthritis classes on Tuesdays, and I remember her first day in class while attempting to perform a routine- I asked her what was she doing, she told me that she couldn’t swim and she didn’t want to get her hair wet (smile)

With a little encouragement,  she got better as she continued to attend classes - always with a smile on her face ….so proud of her accomplishments!

I met Daria about 5 years ago, when she came to Williamsport, PA to preach. She was always such a giving person. A strong individual and beautiful inside and out. We gradually became really close friends, sharing meaningful conversations and supporting one another through good times and bad. My heart hurts, and my world will be much less interesting without Daria Dozier in it, I'll see you again someday. R.I.P my dearest friend and spiritual sister.

Daria was a beautiful soul who brought warmth, humor, and kindness to everyone around her. Her smile lit up a room like no other!
Her presence will be deeply missed, and her legacy of compassion and friendship will always be remembered.

I am sorry for the loss of this beautiful woman. I was fortunate to have worked with Daria at Ford over the course of a few years. Most of our work was over the phone. Even so, she was always a bright light...a trusted partner, professional, and kind. We finally met in person and her smile shone so brightly...what a beautiful soul! She will be remembered. Daria and her family are in my prayers. ❤
-Stacy Romine

I had the privilege of working with Daria at Ford.  In addition to being a phenomenal professional, she was quite stylish, a bright light,  and the most lovely and gracious person I knew.  Daria loved her family and  adored being an auntie.  May she look down at us from heaven and know how much she was loved and respected.
