Danielle Allen

She was born in Camden, NJ on December 15th, 1977 and raised by parents Deborah and George Allen.

She graduated in 1996 from Collingswood Senior High School and went on to study at PB Cosmetology in Gloucester, NJ, where she mastered hair, makeup, and nails.

Over the years, Danielle worked for several notable salons including Hair Cuttery, Hello Gorgeous, and most recently Great Clips in the Audubon Crossings Shopping Center. She had just completed managerial training, beginning the process to eventually manage her own store.

In her free time, Danielle enjoyed playing cards with family on weeknights, spoiling her children and her dogs Sasha & Bella, and spending weekends with loved ones at the Jersey shore.

She did whatever she could to make others happy, because that is what made her happy. She was a ray of sunshine that has moved behind an eternal cloud.

Danielle was engaged to marry her long-time partner Michael Niessen, Jr. on April 20th, 2017. Together they were raising five children.

She is survived by her loving fiancé Michael, daughter Amber, son Giovanni, step-children Paul, Michael, and Casey, brothers Keith and Chris, parents Debbie and George, several aunts, uncles, and grandparents and countless other members of an ever-growing extended family.

Danielle’s life will be celebrated with a public viewing Saturday, March 18th, 2017 from 2-6pm at Blake-Doyle Funeral Home, 226 W. Collings Ave, Collingswood, NJ. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to her memorial fund, “Friends of Danielle Allen”, at 1st Colonial Community Bank, 1040 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, NJ, or via GoFundMe.com/DanielleAllen.
