Danielle Parker

Danielle Marie Mondlak- Hayes

Danielle made her appearance into this world at 1:09Am on April 9th 1979. Born to Sharon and Frank Mondlak.
Frank and Danielle had a typical father and daughter bond; they laughed together, and most importantly they made Mayhem together. You will find many pictures of both of them flipping off the camera, which may be one of her mother Sharon’s biggest annoyances; but she loved them no matter what.
Frank was in the Air Force so most of Danielle’s life was spent with just Sharon and Jamie. At 14 the phrase “it’s always in the heartbeats” started between Danielle and Sharon. A phrase she would pass on to her own daughters. Sharon and Danielle’s love for eachother will follow them into eternity, it’s unconditional love at its finest. Sharon was there for every up and down Danielle would allow her to be there for. They fought as all mothers and daughters did but nothing could ever take them away from eachother.

Her older sister Jamie Ann was her best friend; they did most things together in childhood. If there was one present then there was always the other. Any fight was solved with snuggles and orange sherbet.
Danielle became an aunt for the first time in her teenage years to Bruce Anthony, they were best buddies. They loved eachother immensely, as Bruce grew up so did Danielle. Their humor together was unmatched, some might say inappropriate if you couldn’t handle being given a baggy of candy penises and told to “eat a dick”. Jamie gave Danielle a beautiful gift the day she became a mother, she gave Danielle a built in best friend outside of herself of course. Jamie would later on give Danielle two nieces April Sandoval and Cody Eaton. Danielle’s favorite thing about being an aunt was doing all the stuff their mom said no to. As any aunt would.

Danielle loved animals more then most people; her childhood dog scooter was her first dog and she loved him so much she shared her spoons, and lollipops with him. This habit of sharing all things would eventually lead to her daughter being a germaphobe.

Danielle was athletic and very social. She was on the cheer team and played soccer through out her teenage years. She loved to dance and sing even if she was out of tune. The best present you could gift her was always a blanket.Danielle had many friends; and once you were her friend you were a friend for life.

On July 24th,1999 Danielle became a mother for the first time to a daughter Hunter Cyarra. From the moment Hunter came into this world Danielle was dead set on being the perfect mother, trying to provide everything she could as a single mother. Terrified of what was to come but excited by the opportunity Danielle and Hunter developed an unbeatable bond. They weren’t just mother and daughter but best friends. It was them against the world. Hunters first day of preschool is when Danielle passed on the phrase “it’s always in the heartbeats” Every birthday card, letter, and almost every text was signed off with this phrase. It was Danielle’s personal I love you.
On July 15th,2013 Danielle became a mother for the second time and brought another beautiful baby girl into this world
Cora Jeanne. Who would’ve thought 13 years in she would start back over as a mother. Her short years with Cora were filled with laughter, and love. The girls were 3 peas in a pod, they stuck their tongues out a lot, they played many make believe games and they snuggled with ice cream which Danielle loved so much. Danielle’s beautiful strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes passed onto her daughters, making them exactly 3 versions of the same person. Danielle never loved anything more than her daughters, they were the loves of her life.

Danielle’s battle with addiction started at 15, she would often refer to this as her biggest demon. She tried hard to never let the battle take away who she was as a person. She never allowed anyone to know how hard it was for her. Her fear of rejection for not being perfect all of the time consumed her. Danielle was brave and she fought hard; all she wanted was to be with her babies and see them get older. Her daughters were her biggest strength and reason to fight. She was always trying to get back to them. She was always too afraid of what could be and struggled to live in the present. She wanted to be perfect. Danielle in December of 2024 had decided this time she was going to fight harder than she ever had, that this time was going to be her last battle. Though this battle was long and hard for Danielle, she knew she could not do it alone. She put her fight into gods hands, she pled to him for safety and refuge from her pain; to save herself from herself.
He heard her prayer and on January 24th,2025 at 12:16pm Danielle entered the gates of heaven. Her addiction finally took her but not maliciously this time; almost peacefully and purposefully. As this time it was not ripping her away from her family, or taking her to jail; it was taking her pain away, her fear, and her heartache. Psalm 34:18 “the Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit”

Danielle is preceded in death by her father Frank Mondlak; and her Nephew Bruce Anthony. She leaves behind her two daughters Hunter Cyarra Vincent, and Cora Jeanne Hayes. Her mother Sharon and Step
Father Joseph Propernick. Her sister Jamie Eaton, her Nieces April Sandoval and Cody Eaton. Her step siblings Krystle, Nicole, and Greg Propernick,their spouses and children. Her Great Grandmother Patricia, her Aunts, uncles and many cousins. Along with all of her friends.

If you take anything from Danielle’s life take this: through pain there is love, through sorrow there is light. No matter your fight you are loved and cared for. Flip off the camera sometimes, say the inappropriate joke, make friends with the person you never would’ve talked to. Love unconditionally and so purely that when you are gone all that is left is your love.

Danielle all of us left here will love you until we are met with you again. You impacted many more people than you thought. We are sad we are without you but praise the lord for your strength and know you are home and whole again. Watch over us up there, we will see you again.

It’s always in the heart beats
April 9th 1979- January 24th 2025
