Being a grandmother was one of her favorite things as they brought so much joy and laughter into her life throughout the years.

Dayna's love for animals started at a young age. In Daynas younger years her mother rescued two baby raccoons, named Roxy and Raquel, that would become their most interesting pets. She would go on to own horses of her very own, Autumn Moon, Jesse James, TJ, and the beloved MRA Kitten Kaboodle (Kit). She was also a German Shepard fanatic, raising 3 beautiful dogs Sable Sabertooth, Chase Chasing Bugs, and her dearest Clydesdale Clippity Clop Pony Boy(Clyde). She had quite the knack for names.
