Dana’s family moved to Bellevue in 1976. She graduated from Newport High School and attended Lake Washington Technical College. In 2005 she moved to Phoenix to begin a job as a flight attendant with America West Airlines and where she met her “significant other”, Bill. They relocated to Bellevue in 2007.
Dana loved animals and was a wonderful “catmom” to Sadie, Trixie, Skeeter and Pussycat. She will be remembered for her kind and generous nature, and she was a loyal friend to many. She never passed up an opportunity to help a friend or acquaintance or to take in a homeless kitty who showed up on her doorstep.
Dana is survived by her parents, John and Diane Hicks, brothers Greig and Keith Hicks, and significant other Bill Dahl. She also leaves behind aunts, uncles, cousins, two nieces, and a great-niece, each of whom were very important to her.
For those who care to, the family suggests remembrances to The Humane Society for Seattle/King County or to any animal shelter or rescue organization. Friends and/or relatives are invited to share memories and to sign the family’s on-line guest book on this website.
