It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Danielle Orndorff, a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend, whose vibrant spirit left a lasting impact on all who knew her. She passed away surrounded by love on October 5, 2025, she was only 38 years old.

Danielle passed away surrounded by the love of her family and friends. Born with a bold and loving heart, Danielle was known for her outgoing personality, fierce loyalty, and unwavering willingness to show up for others. She was the kind of person who never hesitated to help, to speak her mind, and to make sure the people around her felt seen, heard, and loved.

She is survived by her devoted father Jonathan Orndorff, and her cherished sister Vanessa (David), as well as her dear Grandpa Tom, and a large extended family that includes her Aunt Liz, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Marty, Uncle Scott, and numerous cousins who will all deeply miss her presence.

Danielle shared a special bond with her chosen family-Jessica and Chris Caldwell and their four children, Deanna and Andrew Espino, and the Donelson Family.

Her love for life was expressed through her passions-bowling, playing darts, cheering for the Oakland A's, and creating beautiful art. She was a talented artist with an eye for color and detail.

Danielle will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
