Destiny Danyel

April 29, 1954 — March 16, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Destiny Danyel, of Chester, VA. She was a cherished mother, who peacefully passed away on March 16, 2025. Destiny was born on April 29, 1954, and she lived to be 70 years old.

Destiny is proceeded in death by her mother, Dorothy Marie Daniel; and her father, Horace Wright Daniel. Destiny was a devoted and loving mother to her beloved children, Shawn and Shane. She filled her family's lives with unwavering support and boundless affection. She will be deeply missed by all who know her.

Destiny is survived by her sons, Shawn and Shane Danyel; her significant other, Jerry Healy; her stepdaughters, Courtney Slingo Draga and Candace Slingo Teed; her stepson, Eric Slingo; her sisters, Janice Daniel, Donna Daniel, and Patricia Vaughan Sloan; and her granddaughter, Haylee Jade Gillespie.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree, Destiny retired from the government after 35 years of service. She was a devoted Christian. She was always happy surrounded by the love of her fur-babies. She loved to dance, have never-ending conversations over a cup of coffee, always enjoyed meeting for lunch dates, and she enjoyed working in her yard. Destiny was a loving mother, sister, and companion, and she will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, please help support our mission by donating to "Angels for the Animals" Foundation, a startup industry dedicated in helping small breed animals in honor of Destiny Danyel. Donations will be accepted at the ceremony.
