Denise Geralyn Daniels

Pleasant was born March 29, 1957 in Howell, Michigan, passed away peacefully at McLaren Hospital on Friday, August 27 with her loving family by her side.  Denise resided at the McVey Street Home in Mt. Pleasant for the last 21 years.  She was dearly loved by other residents over the years along with the wonderful staff.  She was always known for her loving nature and bright spirit.  Her Downs Syndrome condition never stopped her from doing so many of the things that she loved to do.  Her witty nature and tremendous sense of humor endeared her to everyone that she met along her journey. She is survived by her sister and best pal Judi (Tom)   Sullivan, nephew Tom Sullivan and niece Shannon (Nick Kilpela) Sullivan.  She is also survived by her sister Susan Daniels (Ken) Legacki, and nephews Matthew and Daniel (Kaitlyn) Legacki, and niece Caitlin Legacki.  She was preceded in death by her sister Kathryn Fowler and her parents Wendell (Spike) and Bernice Daniels, along with many aunts and uncles who also loved her dearly. A memorial service for Denise will held on Wednesday, September 1 at the Charles R. Lux Family Funeral Home in Mt.
