      Danielle loved summer! She enjoyed golfing, bowling, and floating around in the pool reading. She was an avid "True Crime" podcasts and knew every episode of Law and Order SVU.
      Danielle truly cared about people. She didn't know any strays! If anyone had a need, Danielle was quick to help whether it was gas, food, a place to stay or any other need. She was a protector of those she loved and was a woman of action whenever she thought it was needed. She loved to help people through her years of work at Federal Mogul, IAC and Consumers' Energy.    Most of all, Danielle loved her family and especially being "Grandma!"
