Danielle Nicole (Hackett) Crites

Family and friends celebrated July 19, 1988 when Danielle Nicole was born in Aurora, CO to her parents, Lori Crane and Thomas P. Hackett IV. Danielle left this world September 5, 2013. Danielle was taken from her loved ones much too soon and before she really had the chance to blossom into her true potential. Her family rests in the fact that Danielle had a personal relationship with God and that he had been a part of her life since she was saved and baptized at the age of 11. Dan will always be remembered by her infamous smile, incredible eyes, and the fun-loving personality that could bring joy to everyone around her. Danielle was blessed to have found love with her husband, Richard Crites and her step-son, Skyler. Danielle graduated from Springfield High School in 2006. She was excited for this new chapter in her life. Danielle always had a life-long dream of owning and operating a modern art gallery/tattoo parlor in the state of Oregon. She could not wait for the new adventures in her future and the places she was going to visit. Danielle was known for her beautiful artwork and writings. She could make a master-piece with just a pencil and a piece of paper. Dan loved to sing and play the guitar. The outdoors held a special spot in her heart. When you think of Danielle, please remember her for the love she gave so freely and for her love and faith in God. Danielle, you will be missed more than you will ever know.
