Dana Couey

In addition to her brief acting career, Dana Couey was a Native American singer and musician of the Christian music genre. She made her debut as a teenager, singing in the choir and soloing during events held at Cook Junior High Middle School (Santa Rosa California). Couey went on to join the guitar group at Resurrection Parrish (Santa Rosa California) and with the help of Fr. Larry Carolan began working on her guitar skills; during this time, she met singer/songwriter Michael John Poirier (Peartree Productions) and sang back-up vocals/guitar on several of his well-loved, Christian genre recordings. Couey started her own company "Dana Couey Music Productions" and began recording her own music in 1989, releasing her first of many albums, "De Colores." Couey loved giving her time and musical talents to the North bay and Marin Cursillo movements, eventually starting a "Fourth Day Gospel Choir" with people whom she loved as family. Couey was an avid certified PADI diver and enjoyed Grand Cayman, Indonesia, and Hawaiian Islands excursions. More than anything, Couey loved God, family, and her Yorkie Terriers.
