Tynee graduated from Four Winds High School with the class of 2024.

Danica has many remarkable gifts that she shared with family, friends and loved ones. She was an extremely talented artist, winning many awards and accolades for her drawings. She had that remarkable gift of changing people’s lives with the love and support she showed them in whatever situation.

Tynee worked at McDonald’s, and for a short time at Wal-Mart, then returned to her friends and co-workers at McDonald’s. When not working, she loved hanging out, “Chillin” with friends and listening to music. She cherished her fur baby Ja.

Tynee was everyone’s favorite sister and everyone’s best friend. She was so special.

Though her time here was heartbreakingly brief, her spirit touched many and will never be forgotten. May her memory be a gentle light in the hearts of those who loved her, even in the deepest sorrow. Gone from us too soon, but will be forever in our hearts, never forgotten.
