Danielle loved her children, her family, the color purple, and being surrounded by people. She had a gift for making friends everywhere she went and was truly a social butterfly. Her heart was full of generosity, she was always giving what she could. Danielle loved giving little surprises to her grand sons, nieces, and nephew, always looking for ways to make them smile.

She was welcomed into Heaven by her father, Damian Gallegos; her grandmothers, Henrietta and Lollie; her sister, Jande Gallegos and step sister Crystal Vasquez.Beloved Kelvin Pacheco, Julian Lovato, and Randy Mondragon.
