Obituary for the late

Danielle Mathieu 1958 – 2013

Danielle Mathieu, age 56, passed away, suddenly but peacefully, at her home in Oliver, BC on Friday September 13th.

Danielle was born on March 26, 1958 in Vancouver BC, the youngest of 7 siblings. The family moved to Penticton soon after, and it is in the Okanagan that Danielle went to school and grew up, eventually meeting Alain — it was love at first sight. They spent the next 28 years together, mainly in Osoyoos, raising their family. The love they shared was admired and cherished by many.

Danielle was not only vibrant and beautiful, but one of the strongest and most caring people you could meet. She always put her needs aside for the needs of her loved ones. She had an amazing sense of humour and a smile that would light up a room.

She will be forever loved and missed. She leaves behind her husband, Alain; her daughters, Chantal (Micah) and Michelle; and her brothers Dale (Girlie), Michael (Diane), and Kevan, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives. Predeceased by her parents Roland and Elizabeth (Betty), sister Alana, and brothers Alan and Tony.

A Celebration of Life will be held between 2:30 – 5:30 P.M. Saturday September 21 at the Oliver Elks Hall. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com  Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service and Crematorium.
