Dana E Nebel

They say when a butterfly flutters it's wings in a rainforest, the effects are felt across the world. What happens when a butterfly closes it's wings for the last time?
Sunday night a fragile butterfly closed her wings for the last time in Centerville, Ohio. It might not be felt across the whole world, but it certainly shook mine.
My mother Dana was no one special, and yet to me she was extraordinary.
She lived the life of an Army Brat, then married into the Air Force. While never staying in one place very long, she taught us girls how to be strong women, and caring mothers. She was incredibly smart, going back to school and getting her Business degree when she was 40. She was an excellent cook and I know my love of cooking and baking comes from helping her in the kitchen. I'm sure that my photographic skills also come from her. It was always a family joke to see how many rolls of film she would use during a vacation. She also loved to sing and dance. There were many times when we did dishes with the radio playing and all of us girls would be singing along.

Dana Elizabeth Nebel (nee Morgan), daughter of Elwin Bartlett Morgan and Marjorie Elizabeth Youmans (both deceased), and wife of David Edward Nebel (deceased) leaves behind three daughters Ruth Anne Cox, Katherine Elizabeth Nebel, and Patricia Aleen Bedard (married to Jeff Bedard). She also has six grand-children: Michelle, Elwyn, David Andrew, Dana Marie, Cody and Brett. As well as six great grand-children: Payton, Edward, Lincoln, Ariel, Rian and Jensen. She also leaves behind one very sad little dog, Blue. Services will be held 11:00 am Saturday, October 21 at the Westbrock Funeral Home, 5980 Bigger Rd., Kettering. The family will receive friends Saturday from 9:00-11:00 am at the funeral home. Burial to follow at Miami Valley Memory Gardens.
