She is proceeded by her father Freddie Shepard and her stepfather Jerry Shipman. Danielle was known to be a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt and friend but most of all an amazing mother. She will always be remembered as a one of a kind soul. Even through all of her battles and trails in her life she was always able to keep a positive attitude and a smile on her face. She never lost her good spirit or her faith in the man upstairs. She will truly be loved and missed by many.

A potluck dinner will be held following the memorial service at her mother’s house to celebrate Danielle’s life. Gone but never forgotten. We Love You Dee!! Cancer Sucks!
