Dana Perino, the Fox News host and former White House Press Secretary, has lost her father, Leo Perino, at the age of 79. This has put the spotlight on her family, including her mother, Jan Perino, and husband, Peter McMahon.
Jan Perino, Dana's mother, is a retired community service volunteer who was interviewed in 2013. She was raised in Rawlins, Wyoming, and was a 'gifted sportswoman.' Jan expressed a wish to spend more time pursuing golf and taking up new interests like skiing and tai chi.
Jan had a fulfilling career working for Lutheran Family Services, a non-profit organization, which she described as her favorite job. She also emphasized the importance of family volunteering, saying 'Families who volunteer together stick together!'
Dana Perino met her husband, Peter McMahon, on a plane in 1997 when she was 25. Peter had international business ventures and a Royal Air Force childhood. The couple had a strong connection, with Dana crediting Peter as 'the wizard behind the curtain' in many of her professional endeavors.
Dana's sister, Angie Machock, is an artist who is married to Ben. Angie has a fondness for cats and has been praised for her talent and generosity by Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of Fox & Friends.
