Dana Leigh Zarichny, age 66 of Clio and Flint, passed away on September 22, 2018. Dana grew up in Clio, Michigan and was the oldest child of George Zarichny & Phyllis Stanick. Her two younger brothers were Lindsey (aka Lance) and Brian Zarichny.
As a girl, she loved reading, motorcycles, and her daddy. As a young woman, she was spontaneous and spent her time on adventures and activities that would enlighten her mind and expand her awareness of the world around her. She was a true flower child, rejecting conventional society, while advocating for peace, equality, and love. Simply put, she was a free spirited, tree hugging, fun loving hippie from the 60’s.
Dana had one son with her first husband, Raymond Czuchna. She named him after his father and her favorite Beatle. Raymond Paul Czuchna was born in 1969. She later had three children with Tim Bovee of Clio, Michigan. Felicia O. Bovee was born in 1977, Selena M. Bovee was born in 1978 and her youngest, Ty E. Bovee was born in 1979. Dana loved her children deeply and whole-heartedly. She was a supportive mother who always found creative ways to nurture and bond with her kids. She was genuinely interested in what made her children happy and always found ways to support their interests and dreams.
She has five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Her oldest son Paul, had her first born, Chantele R. Martinez-Czuchna, who gave her three great grand children. Paul later gave her three younger Czuchna grandchildren: Levi, Trenton, and Amelia. Dana was extremely close with her oldest grandson, Brandon A. Bovee. Dana helped Felicia raise Brandon and always had a special bond with him. She fueled his creativity and cherished their time spent together talking, gardening, cooking, doing repairs, and exploring new ideas, places and things.
Dana was intelligent and an avid reader who enjoyed the outdoors and gardening. She had a degree in accounting and business administration and called herself a life long scholar. She also loved music, cooking, collecting rocks, and most of all, excellent conversation. Her favorite topics were philosophy, the universe, and human nature.
Dana is pre-deceased by her parents, both of her ex-husbands, and her brother Lindsey.
In accordance with her wishes, Dana was cremated and she didn’t want people crying at her funeral, so her children invite all who knew her, to join us at her Celebration of Life Party on Friday, November 2, 2018 starting at 5pm.
