This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Danielle Renee Toups Olivier 33 years old, born on October 10, 1984 and passed away on June 8, 2018. 

We will remember her forever. 

Please feel free to add notes, stories or photos - she impacted so many during her life.

We held a wonderful Celebration of her life with family and friends on Saturday 23-June at Darst Funeral Home in Kingwood Texas. Thank you all for the wonderful stories about how she touched people with her genuine and loving spirit through out her life.

Her obituary is listed here: http://www.darstfuneralhome.com/obit/danielle-toup...

Her family and friends were so important to her and it showed in all she interacted with, a great woman who we will forever celebrate. 

For the family, so many of you took part in her development to become who she was - Dana and I want to say thank you for your kindness and support through her life. She has transitioned to be with family gone before, but she is "forever" with us. 

Lets strive to make a difference in others lives by expressing the same characteristics that she displayed treating others as yourself.

Grace and Peace multiplied unto you.

You can measure the impact someone’s presence has on you by the frequency you think about them. The biggest disappointment for me about Danielle‘s passing was not getting to know her better. She is in my prayers. RIP, Danielle. Love & Light ♥️

Happy birthday DanieIle, you are missed..

I find comfort in knowing there is a real place that has been created by God and prepared by Jesus for each of us, if we accept His invitation. An extraordinary place of astounding wonder. Greater than we can fully understand or imagine. A place called heaven and now your home...


In those moments when the memories return and the sadness resurfaces, I find comfort and even joy for you as I reflect on the promise of this key verse. Because life on earth can be very hard..

For in heaven, there is no mourning, crying, pain or death. All things are made new.

Like me, a lot of people are missing you today. We long to see you again. To hold your hand, to capture your smile or to simply say, "I love you."
I would like to encourage them with the truth? Remember Danielle LIVES.. She accepted God’s invitation, she is not gone (temporary Absence) just living in heaven. In that extraordinary place, of astounding wonder, where pain and sorrow can never linger. Experiencing joy and peace like she never knew before, loving the splendor of her eternal home.


Heavenly Father, thank You for creating heaven. A place where we will spend eternity with You and our loved ones who have accepted Your invitation. Help us live with a joyful heart and share the hope we have of eternal life with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Happy Birthday Young Lady.. I miss You

Danielle I miss you and hope above all things that your memories inside of me never fade - your Mom got to drop some of your ashes in an exotic place you instructed - it was a beautiful event and your Mom and Aunt were there to share it - She said it was with butterflies and a dragon fly or two on the beach and an eagle ray swam up to the pier - sounds awesome - I cant wait to see you again my Big - Thank you my Father for allowing us to know her!

Danielle silently left this earth.. she passed, not away, but on. Danielle now knows and see’s things we can only imagine… The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things Danielle can see now will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ).
This I believe…All of us who love Christ will see Danielle again someday … She will be BEAUTIFUL…

Danielle: I will always truly miss you. You are patient, kind, loving, and absolutely gorgeous. You light up a room with your smile, beauty, energy and of course the amazing dance moves. 
Thank you for showing me what true love is as you are the absolute reflection of love. Thank you for bringing me to God and being my angel.
I miss you everyday! You are the best person that has been in my life.
Love you forever!

Danielle - you will sorely be missed by all who know you, and more deeply by your family. Your beaming smiles, brought joy to many, and your life of service will linger with the impactful legacy you've left in such a short time.
With your husband (Ashley Oliver), and Dad (Chuck Toups), we enjoyed your company and participations at our Relief Network Ministries events.
As Christians we live with eternity in our sights. It will be home-coming, a celestial celebration when we all stand before His throne and of hear our Saviour say, “Well done, good and faithful servant! Come into your eternal rest.” (Matthew 25:23, 34)
Till we meet again, rest in peace my sweet sister in the Lord.

Danielle was such a very wonderful person and will truly be missed. Ashley/Chuck, may your family find peace and heal from the emptiness created from her absence.
Hold tight to her memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much you are loved.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"

Danielle Olivier~ I had not only the pleasure of being your nurse, but your friend and sister as well. Your positive energy and faithful heart has left such an incredible legacy behind.
Missing you is an understatement but just simply knowing you, changed everything. Despite the hand you were dealt, you continued to be one of the most positive and strongest people i've ever met. Long talks about life and our fears, Luke Bryan, me actually "doin" yoga( BIG OLE L-O-L), your family, love, food, Houston, the good ole "barn" .... etc etc etc. One thing is for sure, our old souls have crossed paths before. YOU told me often that your family was my family too and how important it is to be positive about life because [whether you think You CAN or CAN'T~~You're Right] Thank you, for [being the light] and the [coffee bean] and sharing your family with me. While you are greatly missed, you have left an imprint on so many of our hearts. 
Love you tons ... Jana Horton

Danielle lit up every room that she entered with her beautiful, contagious smile and bright eyes which also smiled. She had such a genuine interest in, and concern for, every person she spoke to. She was so tender-hearted and strong...such a special girl. Our precious angel will be in my heart forever. I love you so much, Danielle. Chuck, Dana, Lauren, Aaron, Asch, Addi and Aid...you are in my prayers. May you always feel God's peace and comfort. I love you all.

I have known Danielle since she came to work with her mom at our autism center. Danielle lit up the room, as does her mom. Danielle you might have been petite in stature but you larger than life. You will be missed but know you are loved by so many.

Our sweet Danielle may be gone, but the impact she had on all of our lives will live on forever. She gave the best hugs. She always greeted you with the brightest smile. Whenever you talked to her she made you feel like you were the only one in the room. She was full of light and love, and everyone who met her felt that.
I love her, I miss her, I cant wait to see her again one day.

Danielle,
For such a petite person you gave the best hugs. You carried the weight of the world on your shoulders and smiled through it all. The world is a better place because you graced us with your presence, although not long enough. I find it highly appropriate that Celine is singing the song from Titanic while I am writing you a love note. How many times did we watch Titanic at the theatre? 8 times? 10 times? 12? Thank you for the joy you brought to so many people. You are so loved. Until we meet again. -Jillian Dickerson

Many guests sit in my chair but her sparkle and shine made her unique!! I will miss her dearly !! But look forward to seeing her again. Planet Curls Staff salutes Danielle as her new journey has begun !!! We love you !!

Dani—your time was so brief, yet so impactful. We had very little time on board ship during our first meeting, but you left a memorable and powerful impression. I could recognize immediately that you were a gentle soul, inspired by love. I will pray for your journey, that it be a blessed and peaceful one, allowing you to adventure in the infinite. Much love and light, Verne

Danielle was a beautiful soul who had such strength and a strong faith. The way she lived her life and the courage she had during her illness are an inspiration to all of us. We were blessed to know Danielle, and we are sending love and prayers to her parents and all her family.

Some people come into our lives by chance and we are never the same. Danielle was that kind of person to so many of us. Just looking at all the photos there are so many smiles. Danielle had a way about her that made us all feel special. She was beautiful and just as sweet. She capture our hearts with her big beautiful smile, her sweet voice & sparkling eyes. 
Rest In Peace, dear sweet Danielle. You were most definitely loved and you will never be forgotten.

Words cannot express the sorrow that I felt upon hearing of Danielle's passing. I will always remember her beautiful smile on their  wedding day, and warm heart shared at every World PMO event. Danielle  (Toups) Olivier, you will be missed immensely. I pray that God will anoint Ashley, Chuck, family and friends with a peace which surpasses all understanding.

Danielle, you were LOVED and will be missed.. Until we meet again...Love Ya.. The Halkers..
I’ve been thinking today about her strength, her not wanting to be burden. She never made a big deal out of her illness, She was Tough and very strong…..What a wonderful testament to a beautiful young ladies life and to her parents…Chuck and Dana

A Catholic Priest told me one time that..
“Heaven will never be as real to you until there’s someone there you want to go see.”
My heart is broken, right now, For us, heaven is a real place, a place where we long to go. Over the last few years more and more people have gone on ahead of us and are waiting.
We ALL still have a few hills left to cross. What is on the other side we can barely imagine – we’ve only heard stories. But Danielle knows… TODAY RIGHT NOW SHE KNOWS…Thank you Lord..

So today I add this beautiful young lady, Danielle to list of mine…This is in celebration of Danielle’s 1st birthday in her new life with the LORD.. Think about that! WOW

Chuck, I have been honored and blessed to have known this family..I've said this before,
"All I can think about is how lucky I am to have known someone that made saying goodbye so hard.."

Danielle ...silently left this earth.. she passed, not away, but on. The things you and I see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things Danielle can see now will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).Remember as Christians we never say goodbye for the last time.....

One thing that always stood out when you met Danielle was her smile. Genuinely sweet and kind it was the outward reflection of the soul and the person that she was inside. Mine and Michelle's thoughts and prayers go out to her family as they deal with the pain and the loss of her light in their life.  I'll end with a couple of verses that I know will have meaning and hopefully comfort for Chuck and her loving family.
1 Corinthians 15:51-57
"Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
2 Timothy 4:7-8
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing."

The personal loss I feel is emblematic of the workgroup that became “family” at World PMO during my tenure there.
Danielle... simply beautiful inside and out. Her smile and laughter elevated any space she entered, and she was the absolute center of her father’s joy. I pray for peace that surpasses understanding to be granted to Chuck. I find solace in knowing you are a family of faith. Trust and never doubt that Earth indeed has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal.

I had the honor of getting to know Danielle, while working with World PMO. As we worked together, on different occasions - I recognized that she was always so kind and courteous with other people, as well as me. It was a privilege to have her in my life, even if it was for such a brief time. I will miss her beautiful smile. She made everything fun. Our prayers go out to Chuck, his family and Danielle's friends. Ralph & Stanley Mead

Her Life

Lafayette to Kingwood in 1988

June 11, 2018

Danielle was a light to us, as a young couple to have a spirit like D as a first child was.. well it was a learning experience in parenting. She always wanted to be on the move and couldn't wait to get into Kindergarten, she spent a short time in school in Lafayette and then we transitioned to Kingwood during Christmas break at the end of 1988. Leaving Lafayette and her wonderful (and I mean wonderful in the fullest sense) family was hard but she quickly got started in her new surroundings (Greentree Elementary). She had wonderful teachers that pushed her to both focus on learning as well as dream, I am so happy that Dana and I made the choice to set roots in the Kingwood area. She loved to participate in ANY school function and I remember going to many events at Greentree (she especially loved the Fall festival and not a chance could we miss that). What could I say of all the wonderful times she had during this season of her life, her school and church involvement formed her view of the world that propelled her with joy and happiness until the end of her life. Surely I am brushing over lots of happenings so I will leave that to be filled in by her family and friends.  

Kingwood - what an awesome place

May 1, 2020
What an awesome place - Danielle had so many wonderful friends, it really is a blessing for these friendships and how all these intertwine and continue as we progress our individual journeys. Get / obtain lasting friendships, the ones that are solid and based on love. The memory of these can both inspire, encourage and bring peace into your life. Strive to be a good friend it will be with you forever.

Ok, I want to profile Danielle's friends and some of the stores that they share, but I don't remember all the names - (give me some time and I will track these down with Dana, Lauren and Aaron's help) what i do know was that Danielle's adolescent years could not have been more well spent.

Thank YOU to the many families that treated all the kids with love, agreeing to parties, dealing with sports, cheer, dance activities, have the pack camp out on the couch and clean out next weeks groceries. I so value now the time that they had growing up in such a wonderful area..... 

Thank YOU to the many friends that supported Danielle through these years, I know that there were "cliques" and "phases" and most of you were learning how to interact within a rapidly changing world - those years may seem like a blur and even now may not be recognized with the lasting value that these interactions have within your life and family. 

More to come - when i get the stories...... D Baby - I greatly miss you .. Dad

Danielle "Loved" the Crawfish

May 1, 2020
Danielle really loved and was excited anytime there was a "crawfish boil" - these started for her early in life. In South Louisiana these were "events" with family and friends that enabled interaction, fellowship and bonding with the most important people in our lives.

I have memory of her at 3 or 4 with Lauren, Sidney and Chase playing while Uncle Charlie (she loved her uncle charlie) would so effortlessly push out some of best tasting food you will ever have. Also the many fish fry's we all shared as a family at Poppas camp as example - to some its just a good meal (and a lot of work to prepare) but to Danielle it was an event where she could interact and be her talkative self.... (we all know Danielle could talk...)  looking back now - she was at peace and with the people she cared about.

It was in this backdrop that she was introduced to the many wonderful family "cooking" events that we shared during her youth. Her lifelong excitement about these wasn't just her love for the food but it was the essence of family and the peace that this assurance embeds when you gaze out into a fast paced world where all things just don't make sense.  

Danielle loved these times (and there were many) until the end of her life, i am so blessed to be a part of some of these with her.

Ohhhh did i mention that Danielle could sit and eat for hours..... not sure where it all went but she loved sitting around that table....

We all miss you Danielle Renee, remind Jesus please that we need horseradish and that Cajun Power sauce for our homecoming.

Grace and Peace multiplied unto you... Dad

I never met your beautiful angel taken too soon.  My own loved ones are on this site.  I cried after I read about Danielle.  God breathed out and your angel was born.  God breathed in and took your loved one home.  She is a new star in the sky to lighten your darkest hours.  I wish eternal blessings upon you and yours to help you through the darkness that may surround you.  You will be in my prayers.

I am so very, very sorry your angel was needed for a plan that we just cannot understand.
