It is with a heavy heart that we announce the loss of one of our most beloved members, Daytonite.
Daytonite was instrumental in working with the nursing students here at allnurses.com. She was always there for them as well as the seasoned nurse. Her love, however, was teaching those in a nursing program by leading and guiding them here at allnurses.com.
Daytonite had been ill for a while; more seriously in the past 8 months. She passed away on April 8th, 2010.
Our sincere sympathy to the family of Daytonite. If anyone would like to place a condolence, here is the online obituary: JOYCE WAGNER Obituary: View JOYCE WAGNER's Obituary by The Plain Dealer. We think her family would be very touched reading the comments from our allnurses family.
We join you in mourning our friend...
Our fellow colleague...
A nurse above all...
A true advocate for the patient...
A teacher who gave of her heart for all who aspired to be a nurse.
I am so sorry to hear this. I always loved reading her posts. She had so much knowledge & it was wonderful that she shared it. I Learned so much from her.
Daytonite was a huge help to me during nursing school, either with direct answers to my questions, or showing up in my searches. I am certain she was the sort of nurse I aspire to be. So sorry to hear of her passing.
I am Daytonite's niece. I wanted to let you know that all your kind words of my aunt have touched our family. It makes me very happy that she succeed in helping so many of you. She always wanted to be a teacher and from the posts I have read here and her on her obitutary it sounds like she succeed. She never saw herself as one, rather she saw herself as a fellow nurse helping her peers. As a teacher myself I hope that I have half the effect on my students that she had on all of you. Thank you.

Fysicsgrl, Thanks for sharing your insight for your aunt Daytonite. She was a wonderful teacher and her knowledge will continue to live on in all the lives she touched as well as her posts here on this website.
Sitting here shocked and crying. How do you say goodbye to someone you've "chatted" with for many years, but never met. I loved reading her advice and always looked forward to her replies. Learned a lot.
Daytonite is an inspirational and invaluable person who will definetly be missed. To me although not having had the opportunity to meet her, her words of encouragement and her willingness to help out nursing students such as myself will and always will be appreciated.
