Dana Michelle Richard's Obituary
Dana Michelle Richard, 58, passed away on January 20, 2026, at HCA Florida Largo Hospital.
Born on December 23, 1967 in Huntington Beach, California, she was the beloved daughter of the late Donald Cline and Helen Cline (née Treacher).
Dana was happiest by the water. She especially loved Clearwater Beach, where she could feel the ocean breeze on her face and listen to the waves crash along the shore. Her radiant smile lit up every room she entered, and her gentle, kindhearted nature touched everyone she met. She never had a harsh word to say and had a remarkable gift for making friends wherever she went.
Dana is survived by her fiancée, Jason Wilson; her children: Steven Richard, James Richard, Tatyana Richard, and Curtis Richard; her cherished grandchildren: Zake, Aaliyah, and Samiah; and her sister, Karen Cline.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Helen and her siblings, Randy and Donny.
Dana will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM at Grace Memorial Gardens. Receiving of friends will start at 2:00 PM to the time of the service.
