Danielle Christian Obituary
RUTLAND - Danielle "Dani" R. Christian, 30, of Rutland, tragically lost her life on June 10, 2020 from injuries sustained in a car accident.
Dani was a 2007 graduate of Wachusett Regional High School and a 2016 graduate of Worcester State University. She began her employment career at Closet and Storage Concepts in Franklin. This job gave her the opportunity to learn the people skills, structure and competencies that led to her future success at Elder Services of Worcester, and most recently, a position with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services in Keene, NH.
Dani shared a love of history with her father and grandfather. She loved playing the bells with the church bell choir. She enjoyed traveling, adventures, climbing mountains, bicycling, kayaking, family beach trips and anytime she spent at her family camp in Freedom, NH.
The love Dani had for her family and friends will be missed by all. Her beautiful smile, hugs, and "I Love You's" that were so generously given will be missed even more.
Dani is survived by her parents, Sandy and Kevin Christian; her sister and best friend, Jaclyn Christian; a nephew and niece, Chase and Harper Espino; her nephews and niece of her heart, Rawson, Connor and Ruthie; and her grandmother, Betty J. Eddy, all of Rutland. She was predeceased by her grandfather, David H. Eddy Sr. and her grandparents, John and Midge Christian-Spears. Dani also leaves several aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and co-workers that she loved.
Calling hours will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 pm on Monday, June 15 at the Miles Funeral Home, 1158 Main St., Holden (appropriate COVID-19 protocol will be observed including face masks and social distancing). A funeral service will be held the following day, Tuesday, June 16, at 11:00 am at the First Congregational Church of Rutland, 264 Main St., Rutland (only family will be allowed in church). The service will be broadcasted to the lawn outside of the Church where friends can gather. Please bring a chair and join us for the celebration of Dani's life.

May Dani forever watch over all of you. Pinky, Kevin, Jaci & Family- so very sorry for your loss. Love you all.

Our family spent many years with Dani - we have so many wonderful memories Lauren and Dani riding in the limo in grade school, then going to visit our older daughter Erin at E- Town and then Florida - at Disneyland. Dani had an infectious laugh and always was smiling. she always gave 100% to make sure everyone was happy. My mom told her several times that she was her meme as well because we loved Dani as our family. Sandy, Kevin and Jacyln we are so sorry .

Although we havent seen Danielle, for several years, we remember her as such a beautiful child. We have fond memories of the summers when the Eddy family would 'descend' on the Campground in Salmon Beach, New Brunswick. Until we meet again, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.
Your Canadian cousins, Glen, Sue Oliver, Marika and families.

You are going to be soooo missed. My heart is breaking knowing you are not here with us any longer. Your infectious smile and quirky personality always turned a bad work day around. You may not be with us in body but may your family know you are always with them in spirit. Your love and smile will always live on.
