Danielle Skerritt-Seskin Obituary
Danielle Clara Skerritt-Seskin of Las Vegas, NV, born September 17, 1966, died unexpectedly on May 22, 2024. She was 57 years old. Born in Willingboro, NJ, to Dolores Skerritt and Cyrus Seskin, she lived most of her adulthood as a Clark County resident. She was currently employed as an art teacher at Legacy Traditional School - Southwest Las Vegas, a job she loved. She graduated from Willingboro High School in 1984, earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Television Communications from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and her Masters in Education - Curriculum & Instruction from University of Nevada Las Vegas. Danielle was a caring and compassionate soul who loved all animals and plants, enjoyed gardening, fostered puppies, practiced Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism and was a loving mother who adored her family. Her laugh was large, silly and sweet, spreading warmth and drawing laughter from all around her. Brave and adventurous, on her last summer vacation, she drove from Las Vegas to New Jersey to visit family and old friends from Willingboro, living in various states, with her son, his two kittens and her precious service dog Lana and even stopped in New Orleans just to have dinner! She was a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan who watched every game in her Eagles Jersey and goofy eagle hat both of which she wore proudly. In her own words she was a “Mother of four. Art Teacher. Mother of many animals (2 dogs, 5 cas, 1 snake and 3 tarantulas). Lover of life. Living in peace”. The youngest of four children, Danielle is survived by her beloved mother Dolores Skerritt of Willingboro, NJ; sister Suzanne Trietedmy of The Bronx, NY, brother Todd Seskin of Willingboro, NJ, and sister Stefanie Seskin of Wilmington, DE; her children Chase Seskin of Las Vegas, NV, Rachel Seskin of Las Vegas, NV, Matthew Clarke of Las Vegas, NV, and Nicholas Clarke of Las Vegas, NV; her grandchild Scarlet Seskin-Gauthier of Las Vegas, NV; as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins and of course her animals. Services will be private for the family.

I have just discovered the news of her passing. I was one of her students before/during the pandemic and she was just the biggest light of life in the school. She empowered me in so many different ways and she was just a realist which was one of her many great aspects. When I had a problem she never failed to help me or whoever needed it. I really hope you get to see the eagles playoff game this weekend because they're gonna win it, just for you. Fly high, Mrs. S.

Never have I been more inspired and happy to be taught by someone like her. I miss her, and shes the reason I applied for art school, she inspired me, and it hurts so much knowing its been almost 2 months when i found out. My condolences to her family and everyone that knew her, along with me, my cousin, and my friends. We miss you.

I’ve known Danielle for over 20 years. She was definitely a bright star, it she was also a giver, a person who opened her home, she made you feel welcome and seen. Her laugh was contagious and her smile unforgettable. I am honored to have her known her for the time I did and I know she will be dearly missed by many. But she’s probably already back, because this world couldn’t wait for her beautiful soul to return. Sending my love and condolences to her family. Until we meet again my friend.

I knew Danielle from the time she was a teenager, through my best friend Van. For many years when I lived in and around Philly, I felt like part of her extended family. It was a shock to get the sad news from Chase last month, it didn't seem possible. I'll always remember the ways she was a part of my life.

It is interesting how I knew every time that Ms Seskin was about to enter the workroom. She made a comment as if she walks with a noise, and I told her no. I could feel her aura, the aura that a family member is walking in. I will miss your presence Ms Seskin. I can't express most of my emotions...

Ms. S (as my class would always call her) had been an original at Southwest. We had been through a lot together. Opening a school, pandemic, drive thru celebrations, art shows, and much more. Art won’t be the same. Enjoy your peace Ms. S, Ms. V will never forget you.

I miss you Lady...nobody could laugh like you. You gave life your all while you were here on Earth. I still can't believe your big personality..so vivid and full of love and laughter and emotion..is no longer with us. Thank you for introducing me to SGI.
I will feel you in every memory still..from our karaoke nights, our cat memes, our passion for Shoes, to us sharing our teacher stories and planning our next vacation. This hurts. But I know you are sailing high and happy now. Love you gurrrllllll

We are forever grateful.
I wish we'd had more time. Farewell my Willingboro and Las Vegas friend. Rest well.

I am so very sorry. Stefanie is a dear friend of mine, and while I didn't know Danielle personally, I got a sense of who she was from Stef. In short, Danielle seemed like a great person who will be very deeply missed. She will always be with all of her family in spirit. Again, my deepest condolences to Danielle's family, and Stef I'm always here for you.

This is my third try signing this guestbook. I wrote two other things but neither posted and I don't know why. Maybe because I tried to add a photo? Sis, you were the ONLY person who truly understands me and knew me. Your support for all of my crazy artistic endeavors over the years, since we were children, meant so much to me. Your support in general and lck of judgement and tolerance for all of my shortcomings helped keep me going. I am doing my best not to fall apart because I know you wouldn't want that. In fact, you protected me because you knew how weak I am just as I protected you when we were little. will do my best to be strong like you. I am SO PROUD of what you accomplished and am glad I was able to tell you so before you left. I do wish in our last text I had told you I love you, but you know that. I miss you. I love you so much. I'll now be old and alone with 10 cats instead of with my sister but you will forever be with me.

Danielle was an original. She radiated joy and it spread to those who were lucky enough to know her. I met Danielle in high school when I was trying to figure out who I was. She offered space for me to do just that without judgement. It became my metric for friendship acceptance without judgement.
I am greatful that I knew her.
I will miss her terribly.

Danielle, there’s no words to express how much you impacted my childhood to my mid adult life. Your smile and laughter I will forever miss along with your strong voice and motherly love. Every time I walked through that door you welcomed me, every time I had news to share you listened, and every time I needed advice you shared your wisdom. I will always remember you as such a strong and impactful person and will never forget you. I wish I could hug you one more time. I love you so much and plan to carry it with me until I see you again. Until then, I’ll carry your legacy along with the amazing humans you made; Chase, Rachel, Nico and Matthew. I love you and I’ll be looking for you and any signs any chance I get. Rest peacefully mother.

So many people miss you. I miss you. I'm trying to hold it together because I know you would want me to. I don't want you to worry about me. I never thought I'd get older without you getting older with me and so I'm having a hard time. We had a plan -- . You were so sweet when you were little, always goofy and just so cute. As an adult sister, you were the only person on the planet who ever really understood me and I will always appreciate that there was someone. I know you looked up to me although I'll never know why. YOU were the strong one. I am so proud of you for what you were able to accomplish! You used to tell me you were worried you wouldn't find work because you were out of the workforce for so long but YOU DID IT! Thank you for all of your kindness and support over the years. I love you. You are a part of me and always will be. I am so grateful that I was fortunate to have had a sister with whom I was so close. I love you so much, sis. I love you.
