Dana’s Story

Dana Christie Ing Crawford
Aug 2, 1968 - May 22, 2022

There are no words to describe the devastation we are all feeling right now at Dana's passing. But I did my best, in the latest journal entry below.  Please give yourself a few minutes to read it, and please feel free to post your feelings or words of support for Dana's family and other friends. There are so many of us, and we've each got a huge hole in our hearts, made by the Velvet Hammer.

Journal entry by Valerie Ing

Hello to everyone who shares one common theme: we love and were loved by Dana. It’s finally time to announce a moment to gather, reflect and celebrate her.

The family of Dana Ing Crawford would like to invite you to join us to commemorate her joyous life and incredible spirit in a celebration and reception July 1, 2022 from 7 to 9pm at the Irvine & Roberts Winery in Ashland, Oregon. Some refreshments, including wine will be served, so please RSVP so that we'll know you're planning to attend to help us honor and remember Dana's well lived life with photos, stories, music and a toast. Irvine & Roberts Winery is located at 1614 Emigrant Creek Road, Ashland, Oregon 97520.

Please RSVP to Valerie by email at valerieingmiller@yahoo.com or by text at 541-840-0526. 

Can't Attend? For those friends and family who are far away or unable to attend in person, we are planning to livestream the celebration. If you would like to join us remotely, please RSVP as a remote attendee and we'll make sure you're on the virtual guest list! Also, another Portland celebration is in the works for a later date (tentatively August 13th). If you'd like to get updates on when this celebration will take place, please reach out to let us know so we can keep you in the loop.

Thank you for being an important part of Dana’s life!
