Daphna was born July 27, 1950 in Texas City. She worked as a clerk at the Port of Texas City previously Texas City Terminal Railway, but her love in life was her family.  She enjoyed spending time and cutting up with her sisters and nieces.  As a mother, Daphna would do absolutely anything for her boys.  But perhaps the most outstanding part of her life at least recently was being a grandmother.  She loved being around and playing with her grandkids.

Survivors include her sons Travis and Wife Jeanne Sharp; Andy Sharp; sisters Catherine and husband Jim Dunlap, Millie Black, Linda Black, Brenda Neal, Glenda Barker, and Barbara Black.  Grandchildren Audrey, Jack, Abigail, and Colt Sharp.  As well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
