Danielle Howansky Obituary
TROY - Danielle "Dani" Mae Howansky, 25, of 7th Ave., Troy, passed away suddenly on February 28, 2024. Danielle was born in Albany to the late Thomas Howansky of Watervliet and Tammy (Stephen) Mainville of Hoosick Falls. Granddaughter to Dan and Anna Howansky of Watervliet, and Sandra Hebert of Cohoes. Dani is survived by her favorite boy, Mr. Jinx, her brothers, Tommy Jr., Logan and Hunter and her sisters, Tia and Johanna. She was a wonderful and loving aunt to Jacob, Ayden, Gabriel, Alivia and Blayke. Danielle also has many aunts and uncles. Danielle left behind a loving boyfriend, Gabriel McMahon, and her long-time friends, Chianne, Tiffany and Tyler. Danielle was a Debt Collector for ORDD, Law for the last five years, a job that she loved and was adored by all her co-workers.
Dani loved music, and she was the true definition of a hippie, wildchild. She loved to play her ukulele and guitar. She also enjoyed wrapping crystals, and just being adventurous. Danielle had a light about her, that no matter what she was going through herself, she always made others smile. Danielle was known to help anybody in need.
Friends are invited and may call on Friday, March 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Frank P. McDonald & Son Funeral Home, 870 Second Avenue (124th and 125th Streets) in Lansingburgh.

I didn´t know Danielle long, I met her through her very best friend Savannah, they had a friendship that only some can dream of. Danielle was sweet and smart and such a driven woman. She was an amazing loving "auntie" to Oliver and was looking forward to meeting Opal. She will be missed. I am blessed I was able to know her. Rest peacefully Dani.
