Dana Sinclair passed from this life on May 8, 2016, Mother’s Day, at her home in Flowermound, Texas at the age of 56 following a long courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Her family, friends and caregivers supported her with love and care in her time of need.
She was born on May 19, 1959, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as the fourth and youngest daughter born to Floyce Newman Floyd and Calvin Dayton Floyd. Dana married Mark Sinclair on September 16th, 1989. They had a beautiful daughter, Melissa Ann Sinclair on April 22, 1994. Melissa is pursuing a career in Engineering like her father. Dana always loved pets. Over the years she had many treasured pets: Sam, Ginger, Maggie, Max and leaves behind 3 grand doggies: Jake, Rocco and Lillie.
As a young child she was active in Camp Fire and played in the American Legion Kiltie Band touring Oklahoma to spread good will. She was selected as the representative to Oklahoma Girls state for Capital Hill High School where she graduated as the valedictorian in 1977. Dana wanted a little sister so during her senior year, the family sponsored Silvana from Brazil for a year. Dana and her parents traveled with Silvana throughout the United States. In return, Dana spent Christmas holiday in Brazil with Silvana’s family. She graduated with a Computer Science Bachelor of Science (BS) from Oklahoma State University (OSU) in 1981 carrying on the tradition of her grandfather, Curtis Floyd who graduated there in 1922.
Dana worked as a computer programmer for Sprint and General Dynamics until she became a full time mom when her daughter was born. She was always doing crafts, especially for the nieces and nephews. Dana was an avid reader and enjoyed video games cards and dominoes. She loved plants especially getting African violets to grow and bloom.
Dana’s family enjoyed trips to Disney world and to visit family especially on holidays. Even as her illness progressed, she spent her last July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas with her family in Oklahoma City. She even shared a big celebration of her mother’s 90th birthday and an over 25 years of marriage since married on her mother’s birthday.
Dana was a long-time and faithful member of the Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church of Oklahoma City. Since her youth she attended Harmony Plains Singing School at Cone Texas and always enjoyed singing.
The family wants to thank all the caregivers for all the love and care provided. Even through her struggles with illness, she remained our hope and inspiration.
She is survived by:
Parents: Calvin and Floyce Floyd
Husband; Mark Sinclair
Daughter: Melissa Sinclair
Three sisters and brother-in-laws: Sandy and Tom Billingsley, Judy and Bill Kemper and Cheryl and Thom Meade
A host of loving family and friends
