Dana Ertler

December 26, 1961 — March 22, 2022

Dana Locker Ertler (Susie) passed suddenly from this life on Tuesday, March 22, 2022. She was a loving wife, devoted mother, kind and caring daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many.  Her family’s fur babies brought her so much joy and she had a heart full of compassion for all living creatures – even bugs!

Dana was born in Fayetteville, TN where she grew up and graduated from Lincoln County High School. She has lived in the Ocoee area for the past 26 years. Dana worked in the accounting field for many years, most recently serving as a Senior Client Specialist for ProfitSword. She is a 15 year breast cancer survivor, and throughout her life displayed amazing strength, determination, character and kindness. She loved to laugh and loved a good rollercoaster, but more than anything she loved her family and friends.

Dana is survived by her husband of 24 years, John Ertler; beloved daughter Ashlyn Nicole Ertler; mother Barbara Locker of Fayetteville, TN; sister Lana Locker Mason, Thompson’s Station, TN; sister-in-law Denise Ertler Oleson (Paul); sister-in-law Cathy Ertler Seabridge (Gary); sister-in-law Marjie Ertler Adcock (Andy); several nieces and nephews and great-nieces and a great-nephew. Dana was preceded in death by her father, Lloyd Locker, baby sister Stephanie Locker, and her grandparents Lela and Robert Locker, Mabel Kidd, and J.B. Kidd, all of Fayetteville.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Susan G. Komen or to Orange County Animal Services.
