Danielle Susan Detoli

Danielle Susan Detoli, 45, of Cedar Knolls, affectionately known as “Dani,” passed on July 24, 2016 surrounded by her loving family and friends after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer.

Danielle was raised in Little Falls and attended Cedar Grove High School. Upon graduation she attended Artistic Academy cosmetology school and was a licensed cosmetician. After relocating to southern California for several years, she returned home to New Jersey. While in California, Danielle began a long and successful career with Realogy Holdings Corp., a global leader in residential real estate franchising and brokerage companies in Madison, NJ.

Danielle lived with a passion for life and brought joy, love and a lot of laughs to her dearest family and friends. She was an artist at heart and she expressed her artistic creativity through her passion for cooking and photography. She took great pride in being the official photographer of the undefeated Hanover Township Tigers Football Team! Everyone was welcome at Danielle’s table anytime. She loved baking cookies, cakes and treats of all kinds and often provided treats for the team. In addition, Danielle provided pink shoelaces last October to the team in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, unbeknownst to her she would soon be battling her own cancer.

Danielle was always there for those who needed her most for a good laugh or a good cry. Without question, Danielle’s deepest pride and greatest joy was her precious son, Aidan Edward. He was her shining star. She was the best mother any boy could ever ask for and nothing made her more proud than to watch her Aidan play basketball, football, soccer or baseball. She was always right there cheering the team on and capturing the perfect moment with her camera. She could always be counted on when you needed her most and Dani always ‘kept it real.’ She was the light of our lives and she will be missed by so many.

Danielle was predeceased by her father, Edward J. Dotoli, and her eldest sister, Darien S. Dotoli. She is survived by her beautiful son, Aidan Edward Detoli; her mother Theresa (Terri) DeToli, of Port Royal, South Carolina; her sister Dana Smith Dotoli, her brother-in-law Tyler Smith, and her nephew, Jake Smith of Albuquerque, New Mexico; she is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.

A memorial mass will be held at Notre Dame of Mount Carmel Church, 75 Ridgedale Avenue, Cedar Knolls, NJ, on Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. followed by a luncheon.
