She was married to Richard (Dick) Shaw in 1980 and began a full and active life in the Madiera Beach Community Danielle was a wonderful homemaker and worked to support her husband and family in the gas business. She worked her way through college. She was active in the local library and built a career in library science from her love of reading. Her other passion was health and fitness, where she began aerobics in the days of Jane Fonda Aerobics courses. She still has her leg warmers.

He/She was survived by husband, Dick, her son Steven, of Atlanta; and her stepchildren, Christoper (Darice) Shaw; Lisa Shaw (David) Matta; Julie Shaw (Robert) Mentry and her eight grandchildren and most recently her first great grandchild.
