SALEM, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Danielle N. Stanley, 34 of Salem, Ohio passed away on Friday, May 26, 2023.
She was born on October 20, 1988, to her mother, Brenda Hamilton of Salem, Ohio and the late Ronald Stanley of Columbiana, Ohio.
Danielle was a free spirit. She loved arts, crafts, music, anything purple, nature, outdoors and dancing in the rain. She loved treasure hunting with Emma and that remains one of Emma’s favorite memories of her mother. She lit up the room with her vibrant presence, her bright smile, and her ornery laugh. Her beautiful smile was contagious and her laugh could break any barrier. To know her was to love her and she reciprocated that love with her entire being. She was a beautiful spirit that tried to help anyone and everyone she could, because that was the kind of friend she was. She gave all of herself to those she loved with no hesitation or fear. She met every challenge with a fearless and determined spirit, including the challenges that came with fighting her demons. She fought a valiant battle because she loved so many, so fiercely but none so fiercely as she loved her daughter, Emma Rose. This fearless love, this bright spirit, this beautiful soul, is something death can never touch.
She lives on in our memories and in her sweet daughter, Emma. Please continue to honor her memory by saying her name, Danielle. Danielle, we will never forget how hard you fought, how beautiful your soul is, and how bright you made this world in the fleeting time you were here. #danielleforever34
