Born in Metairie, LA, Dayna graduated from Central High, Memphis, Tennessee, in 1963. Attended UTK for one quarter, transferring to The Academy of the Arts at Memphis in 1964. She graduated from the Academy (now known as the College of Art) in about 1968 with a specialty in jewelry-making/metalsmithing. At some point she married another Academy graduate, Wayne Schultz, and they had one son.
Dayna raised her son in Memphis, working with her father Daniel, an optometrist, and later in the office of the family doctor, Sam Tickle, who practiced with a Dr. Fountain, d.b.a. Pulmonary Physicians. She continued her work in various graphic arts and jewelry design, along with writing, intermittantly throughout her life. She educated herself continually in many fields: Egyptology, Qabalah, astrology, meditation, natural healing, tarot, theosophy, as well as many branches of science and literature. A Renaisance woman, if ever there was one. All of these interests, but always, family came first.
Dayna spent her later years in Nebraska, and then Wyoming (?Idaho, Montana?), to be near her brother Dan and his daughter and grandchildren, and finally, Colorado Springs, Colorado eight years ago, where she has been cremated. Her family has her ashes.
