Dana was born December 12, 1967 in Charleston, South Carolina, daughter of Faye P. Seigel and Rabbi Robert A. Seigel (OBM), and Jerome "Jerry" B. and Sonia T. Rothschild. She graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in elementary education. Dana continued her education at Johns Hopkins University earning a degree in Child Life before relocating to New York to work at Mt. Sinai Hospital. She continued her education at New York University earning an M.A. in Occupational Therapy. Dana returned to Charleston to be near her family and close friends and was employed with the Charleston County School District. Her dedication to serving and helping others, especially children, was at her core.

Above all else, Dana was most passionate about her loving family. She was a caring and devoted wife, a doting mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Dana epitomized a beautiful life that was well-lived and filled with compassion, love, meaning and purpose.
