Danica Durocher

She was born on July 22, 2011, in Hancock to Mary Ann (Cody Bonini) Tindell and Thomas (Bonnie Johnson) Durocher.

Danica was the light of our lives. Her smile and her laugh were contagious. She loved life to the fullest and loved spending time with her friends. She also loved being at home in her room with her kitties (King Paws and Rose) gaming with friends. She also loved everything the outdoors had to offer as in camping in her “Glamper,” swimming in the lake, and long walks with her dog, Rebel.

Danica was a fierce warrior in her fight against cancer. She faced and endured it all with the greatest courage, strength, and dignity, never losing her beautiful smile, her quick wit, her sense of humor, her hope, and most of all her love of life.

Danica left an imprint on every soul she met. She will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.

She was preceded in death by uncle, Jimmy Tindell; grandfather, Leo Durocher; and uncle, Andre Durocher.

Besides her parents, she is survived by her loving grandparents, Vicky and George Tindell; loving grandmother, Mary Durocher; loving uncles and aunts, Kyle (Adrienne) Tindell and Dale (Jenny) Tindell; loving cousins, Gemma, Daisy, Ben, Noah, and Delilah Tindell; bother, Dax (Jada) Durocher; niece, Daisy; nephew, Colter; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives; her dearest friends, who have always been there for her, Tori and Taylor Ahola and Dani Holly Johnson; and special brother, Bennett Bonini.

Private services will be held at Saint Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church in Houghton with Reverend Father Corey Litzner to officiate.
