NAÇU, Danielle
Sunshine of your love
In loving memory of our beautiful daughter and beloved sister Danielle Naçu, who died tragically on Tuesday, October 11th in Ottawa, in her 34th year. Danielle was both an inspiration and an energy so rare to find in this life - ever so precious to lose. Danielle traveled the world, personally and professionally, basking in the experiences of new cultures and the opportunity of representing the Canadian government and Our Nation. Hard- working, dedicated, driven and supremely kind, our little sunshine also volunteered at local missions, attended the University of Ottawa, nearing completion of her second degree, while working full-time with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. She was fiercely passionate about the environment and rallied her community to take action in making a difference.
Our nation has lost one of tomorrow's leaders; our community has lost one of its great residents; our co-workers have lost a great friend; our friends have lost an inspiring force and our family has lost a great light. Danielle's smile, compassion and genuine kindness are her legacy and will forever be the sunshine in our hearts and minds.
Danielle is survived by her parents Lynn Kelly, mother, Tom Naçu, Maj. Ret'd. father and his wife Regina Lewis-Naçu, her only brother Brent, many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, co-workers at CIC and PWGSC as well as her world-wide friends.
