Dana R. Hewitt, 50, of Beaver Falls, passed away on August 7th, 2025 at Covington Skilled Nursing and Rehab in East Palestine, Ohio following her courageous battle with Huntington’s Disease.

She was born on April 7th, 1975, a daughter of the late Dwayne and Barbara (Mihalko) Hewitt.

Dana was a 1993 graduate of Riverside Highschool, as a part of their cheerleading squad. She was a lovingly devoted and caring nurse’s aide with the Beaver Valley Geriatric Center/Friendship Ridge for many years. She was a kind, gentle and loving young lady. There was a softness to her spirit that made you feel safe just being around her. Even in her pain and suffering she never lost the faith, and that beautiful smile and laugh that made her so special and warmed your heart.

Friends will be received on Wednesday, August 13th from 3 P.M. until the time of services at 7 P.M. in the GABAUER-LUTTON FUNERAL HOME & CREMA TION SERVICES, Inc., 117 Blackhawk Road, Beaver Falls, who was in charge of her arrangements.
