Always the sweet and caring person. She will be missed from this world and will be an Angel in heaven 

To Wayne and Family, haven't known Danielle for very long but she was always very sweet and full of smiles. May she rest in peace as she is wrapped in the arms of the Lord. 
Warm regards, Donna and Mike Gross

I worked with Danielle at Mars for many years.  I can’t recall a time she didn’t have a smile on her face or a kind word to say.  She will be missed greatly.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to Wayne and the family.  
Danielle was one-of-a-kind.  I had the pleasure of meeting her, and Wayne, on the pickleball courts not long after I moved here more than 6 years ago.  She was ALWAYS upbeat and welcoming.  She loved being a wife, mother and a grandmother.   She will be missed by everyone who knew her and loved her.

My cousin Danielle was a remarkable woman.  I will always remember her for her compassion, empathy and caring  presence.  
Wayne, Nicolle and  Steve you are in my prayers.  May God comfort you with his love and grace.

Your cousin,
Minerva Wisniewski and family

My deepest condolences to Wayne and Family - Danielle was such a wonderful person - always willing to help and had a smile on her face.  We worked together at M&M Mars and from the beginning she made me feel like I had been there all along.  

Danielle was a wonderful lady who loved her family and friends.  She was always smiling and lived life to the fullest!  I often saw her in our Villages neighborhood and at the gym.  Danielle will be deeply missed.  Rest in peace, sweet friend.

I'm so sorry to hear about Danielle's passing. I worked with her at Mars. She was a very caring person who was great at her job.  My condolences to the family.


Danielle always made time for her family and friends, no matter where she had to travel to. Here she attended my son Matthews’s graduation from College. Being his godmother meant a lot to me and Matthew. Thank you for all you’ve done for us. We love you to the end of the universe. 💕

Danielle was my best friend and cousin and I cannot imagine life without her. She was my confidant, encourager, partner in crime and taught me how to be selfless and to give more to others. She was the perfect wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was my idol.  Thank you, Prima, for always being there for me and including me and Wade in your family functions. We always had so much fun together! And laughs! I will miss your laughter. I love you more than life itself. RIP Prima, te quiero mucho. ❤️

Rosita!  Her star will continue to shine!
Danielle played the part brilliantly!

Danielle  was a very special woman and will be missed by many.  She is now one of God’s  angels in heaven and will be watching over all her family and friends.

There are no words to describe the loss of Danielle to the Valentine /Machuca family. She was so full of life and laughter. She lived life full of love and joy with her family. My favorite memory  is of her and Rosemary telling how they moved a couch up the stairway. Their animation and laughter throughout the ordeal was hilarious!! We will deeply  miss Danielle.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Danielle.  She was a wonderful lady that you enjoyed being around with her upbeat attitude, positive outlook and beautiful smile.  Danielle will be greatly missed.

We share our condolences and know that Danielle, Wayne, Rosie, Joe and your family are in our prayers.

Fondly,
Jeff & Renee Coffman 

I met Danielle working in Benefits at Mars and she taught me so much about pension calculations!! And always with a smile or song! I’ll always remember quoting movie lines together and laughing like crazy! Danielle was one of my favorite people to work with and I’m blessed to have called her a friend. She will be sorely missed but I know she will be watching over her family and friends. Rest in peace my friend. 

We were so saddened to hear of Danielle’s passing.  What a lovely lady who always lit up any room she entered.  We are so happy we got to become friends in The Villages.   Her strength and positive attitude were inspiring and she was just so much fun to be around.  We are out of the country so we will be with you in spirit at her celebration of life.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Wayne and family.  🙏🏻💕
Love, Gary and Vicki Hufstetler

Dear Wayne and family, 
There are no words to describe the sadness we feel over the passing of Danielle.  She was the brightest light in any room she entered.  Looking at all the beautiful pictures, I'm so glad that you made so many wonderful memories.  She will never be forgotten.  💞

Love, John and Marsha 

Cheers, Danielle! Thanks for visiting us!

Danielle gave the best hugs . 
I have many memories of her as a coworker, travel buddy, lunch walking friend,  mom, and just an amazing lady.   One of my favorite memories is when she would crack us up with a story about her Mom and would  do it with her Moms accent.  Genuine, dedicated, loving, sincere, funny are just some of the ways to describe Danielle.   She has many more qualities that all of us experienced.   I will miss you my friend and thanks for keeping up the pace. 

Danielle, Although we only met once, your spirit and outlook toward this challenge was inspiring.  You touched my heart.  May you find Eternal Peace in our Fathers Arms.  

I met Danielle  at the gym in the villages. We played pickleball  together  on several  occasions  and played golf once together.  She was a beautiful  woman  in every way. She loved her family  and she glowed when she spoke  of her children  and grandchildren.  She will be missed and remembered forever.

I met Danielle when I began working at Mars in 2003.  Danielle was so welcoming, patient, willing to share the incredible amount of knowledge she had on historical information, benefit plan details, etc. We come across documents continuously that contain Danielle’s name and such neat handwriting with the detail that assists us every day.  What I think of when I think of Danielle is the love and joy she expressed when talking about her family. The world has lost such a great, kind, woman.  I am so sad to read that she has passed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.  

I began working with Danielle in 1995. She was full of energy, smart, dedicated, genuine, fun loving and very good at song lyrics!  Yes, back in the day of working long hours she would lead the 'gang' (her word) in song jingles or tunes which created many fun and lasting memories.

We became good friends as the years went on and remained friends throughout retirement. Danielle never forgot a birthday, always found the time to reach out, even with her busy schedule! She was an amazing person and great friend.

I will miss you dearly, my friend. Rest in Peace.

She was one of the great one's who brightned the world!!

Her memory will live on with all of us...

Danielle was in my top 5 nicest people I ever had the pleasure to meet. I worked with Danielle at Mars and I have nothing but wonderful memories of her. It truly was the most fun I’ve had there (on year 26 now). I pray that she is at peace and the same for her family. God bless.
