Danica loved spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, and helping those in need through regular volunteering. One of her greatest joys was watching her children play basketball and embark on new adventures. She also had a deep appreciation for animals and often adopted pets in need of a home. She took the time to learn about the people she adored even if they only spoke once or twice. She most recently worked for the Everett Public School District and loved working with kids.

We invite you to light a candle and share a story, favorite memory, or photo. Expressions of love and kind words mean a lot to those who are grieving. If you’re wondering what to say, write about their special qualities and what it was you valued most about them. Your words will be a gift of love your grieving friend or loved one will treasure.
