Dana Glodowski

DANA GLODOWSKI, 46, of Weirton, WVpassed away on January 19, 2026, surrounded by her best friends and family. Dana was born in 1979 in Weirton to Julia (Pelowska) and Edward Glodowski. She was a graduate of Weir High School and was previously a client of the Hancock County Opportunity Center for many years. Dana was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her brother, Matthew Glodowski, and his wife, Emily; her nieces, Julianna and Catherine Glodowski; and her dearest and closest friends, Madeline and Chandler Youngkin. Known by many as “Miss Dana,” she taught so many about love, compassion, inner toughness, and the joy found in simple things, like her favorites; popcorn and Frappé, and most especially, time spent with friends and family. As an aunt, she loved cheering on her nieces at their sporting and music events. She had a unique way of capturing the hearts of everyone she encountered. Dana could light up a room with her smile and laughter. Visitation was held on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, Weirton. Liturgy of the Word funeral service immediately followed, with Rev. Fr. Larry Dorsch presiding. Dana was laid to rest alongside her parents at Mt. Airy Cemetery in Natrona Heights, PA. The Glodowski family would like to express their deep gratitude to Dr. John, Dr. Valuska, the Breast Care Center, and the intensive care teams at WVU Medicine Weirton Medical Center and UPMC Shadyside for their loving and compassionate care.
