Dani Marie Hiebert was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a cherished member of her community. She carried herself with quiet strength and kindness that touched everyone around her. Through every role she embraced, Dani showed up with a full heart and an open hand, always ready to support, encourage, and love without limits.

She was married to Randy Hiebert, her husband and best friend, since October 19, 2002. Together, they built a life rooted in faith, family, and unconditional love. As a mother, Dani poured herself into her children—Jamie Fanning, Melissa Fanning, Katelynn Carpenter, and Matthew Coughlin—and found her greatest joy in her eight grandchildren, who brought light and laughter into her life.

Dani’s presence was a blessing. She lived by a steady, quiet strength, always choosing to do what was right, not because it was easy, but because it was good. Her smile could light up a room, but it was her spirit—full of warmth and generosity—that made everyone feel seen and loved. Her laughter was infectious, bringing joy even on the hardest days.

She loved deeply and unconditionally. Every sacrifice she made was a true act of love. Dani didn’t just raise a family; she nurtured hearts, lifted burdens, and left every person she met better than she found them. She was the heart of her family, the anchor in every storm, and a light that will never go out.

On August 3, 2025, just six days before her 69th birthday, Dani peacefully went to be with Jesus, surrounded by her family. She took pieces of our hearts with her—pieces that will be missing until the day we meet her again in Heaven.

We love you so much, and you will be sorely missed.
