Danielle M. Bachler

Born in New Brunswick, she grew up in Lakewood and moved to Toms River 18 years ago.

Danielle had a great love of children, and was a daycare provider at KS Fitness, Toms River and Building on the Rock Church of Manchester.

A devout Christian and faithful member of Building on the Rock Church, Manchester, she was involved in the church for many years.

She had a love of music and enjoyed keeping a journal, and was well known for her great smile and natural glow.

Despite her long illness, she always maintained a positive, "thumbs up" attitude. She was truly a pure spirit. She loved baking, the beach and always had the will to help others and taught everyone to be brave.

She is survived by her husband, Jason; her parents, Tom and Karen Bove of Toms River; her sister Erin Zecca and her wife Lisa Zecca of Toms River; her in-laws, Lyssa and John Bachler of Toms River; her sisters-in-law, Leslie Bachler of Toms River, Lynel Forlenza of Toms River, and Lauren Dickinson of Bayville; her aunts, Patricia Grieco of Brick, Geri Marchitto and her husband Anthony of Browns Mills and Leslie Montfort and her husband Thiery; her church family at Building on the Rock, including Pastor Bob and Valerie Nash, several nieces, nephews and cousins; and her beloved Pineapple Conure, Kiwi.
