December 21, 1923 - December 21, 2013

Dagny M. Griffith of Denton, TX passed away on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at the age of 90. She was born December 21, 1923 in Chicago, IL. to Magnus and Olivia Martinsen. She married Don Griffith in 1948. She was a homemaker as well as serving several churches as a secretary to her husband. Churches she served in include, Northside Christian Church in San Antonio, as well as Churches of Christ in Monahans, Tx., Rockport, Tx., and Junction, Tx. Dagny enjoyed studying the Bible and singing hymns. Her family recently found out that while living at the Vintage Nursing home she would often sing for people who were close to making the transition from this earth to eternity. We find comfort ourselves in knowing that she has made that transition, she is at home with the Lord and her husband Don and son Johan as they were waiting to greet her. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, December 26, 2013 at 11 AM at Denton Funeral Home. Pastor Jeff Fairchild and wife Judy will officiate. Burial will take place at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery following the service.
