Danielle Deone Roach-Francis blessed this world with her presence on March 3, 1984, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington D.C. Danielle was known to many as "Danni". On December 24, 2024, at the age of forty, Danni departed this life.

Danni was a proud graduate of Montgomery Blair High School, Class of 2002. After high school, she attended Morgan State University and received her associate's degree. She went on to pursue a career in childcare and early childhood education.

Danni took on several titles, but her most important title of all was mother. She absolutely adored her children. They were her world, and she loved them with all her heart. Danni treasured the time spent with family and looked forward to annual family vacations. During family gatherings, she especially enjoyed singing and dancing with her family. Her infectious smile and sense of humor will be missed tremendously. To know her was to love her.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Dorothy J. Perry and paternal grandfather, Robert Roach, Jr.
