Dayna Gryzwoc, 57, of North Truro, died as a result of a car accident in Wellfleet on Oct. 30.
Dayna was born at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, the first child of Staff Sgt. William E. McLain, USAF, and Marguerite (Berry) McLain.
Her early years were spent as an Air Force “brat” living in various places in the Southwest. Then her family moved to Bangor, Maine, where she resided for the next eight years. In 1963 the family moved to Springfield. In 1968 Dayna graduated from Springfield Technical High School. She then attended Springfield Technical Community College and, later, Cape Cod Community College, majoring in business administration.
She held several jobs during her work career, including five years as a certified home health aide. She was a well-known and excellent waitress in area eateries, notably Dr. Deegan’s in Chicopee. She also was a talented oil painter who delighted in painting flowers.
For the past two seasons she enjoyed working as a desk clerk at Cape Colony Inn in Provincetown.
She had a flamboyant, larger-than-life personality and colorful appearance. She will be remembered for her warm heart, sincere concerns for others and her habit of reaching out to anyone who needed a helping hand in life.
She leaves her loving husband, Stanley Gryzwoc of Truro; her son, Ronald M. Condino and his wife, Kimberly, of South Hadley; a stepson, Richard Gryzwoc; her mother, Marguerite McLain of Hampden; three brothers, Michael McLain and his wife, Lucy, of Chicopee, Charles McLain and his wife, Margarita, of Lynn, and Scott McLain and his wife, Loriann, of Hampden; three sisters, Colleen Speare and her husband, Bob, of Wells, Maine, Jayne Reeves and her husband, Scott, of East Corinth, Maine, and Joellen Wilkens of Buffalo, N.Y.; two grandchildren, Kyle and Ryan Condino; and several nieces and nephews.
