Danna worked in retail and insurance until she became a mother in 1993. After becoming a mother she spent much of her life building a home, caring for her family, and planning trips and vacations for them to enjoy.

She was a loving and dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. Her favorite times were spent traveling across Europe with her husband and children.
