Danielle Chiasson

On Wednesday, November 28, 2018, Danielle Chiasson, loving daughter and dear friend, passed away gently in her sleep at age 59. Danielle was born on May 18, 1959 in Toledo, OH, to Antonio (AKA Dr. Tony) and Claire (AKA Mrs. C.) Chiasson. Predominantly of Muskegon, Michigan yet most recently of Tucson, Arizona, she graduated from Mona Shores High School in Muskegon in 1978 and went on to work many different jobs in Michigan and Arizona, though she was most proud of her accomplishments as Office Assistant at Michigan Dunes Montessori and pianist with Friendship Ministries. Danielle loved music. She played the clarinet and proudly marched in her high school band. She was a gifted pianist who never shied away from sitting down at the piano to lead an impromptu sing-along. She served in the Church her entire life, singing in choirs and helping whenever a pianist was needed. Known for her loving personality, her famous bear hugs bursting with love and her beautiful smile, Danielle genuinely appreciated everyone she met and was very social. Everyone who knew her knows she faced many challenges in her life, but despite those challenges she was a strong, spirited woman with a passionate soul and a drive to make sure she was seen and heard. Danielle is survived by her parents, Tony and Claire; her brother, Patrick, along with his wife Jackie, and their children, Mea, Camille, Mederic, Imogen and Jake; her brother, Marc; her sister, Renee, along with her children, Hannah and Thomas; and her brother, Gilles, along with his wife, Sherri, and their children, Hugo and Beauregard. A Celebration of Danielle's Love and Life will be held at 3:00 PM on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at Desert Springs Gracious Retirement Living, 30 W Lambert Lane; (Oro Valley) Tucson, AZ. If you choose to do so, the family asks that you honor Danielle with a donation in her name to Friendship Ministries, 2215 29th Street SE, Suite B6, Grand Rapids, MI 49508, or online at: https://friendship.org/give/
