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.
