Obituary
Danielle “Danni” Dutton
Namaste Bitches Namaste!
I was born on October 6, 1989 in Winona, MN to Connie Dutton-Snell and Timothy Dutton. When I was very little, my parents divorced and we moved to West Salem, WI. In 1997, my mom married my step-dad Rick Snell. I loved Rick dearly and missed him so much when he passed away in 2006. I graduated from West Salem High School in 2008 where I had so many awesome friends and memories. I loved music, my pets, the Chicago Bears, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs and going on trips with my family.
Like a lot of teenagers, I started drinking and hanging out at parties with my friends. This eventually led to my disease of alcoholism. Alcohol helped me forget the negative aspects of my life. I quit drinking several times over the years but alcohol always lured me back. In 2014 I gave birth to the love of my life, Theodore ‘Teddy’ Dutton. I love Teddy with all my heart and am so proud of the young man he is becoming.
On October 16, 2024 I succumbed to the liver disease that was the result of my alcoholism. I truly regret my inability to overcome my alcoholism and remain sober. I will remain in the hearts of my son, mom, dad, brother Nick Dutton of Milwaukee, grandma Jan Glomski of Wabasha, MN, several aunts, uncles and cousins. I have now gone on to join my stepdad, grandpa Bob Glomski, several aunts and uncles and a few classmates already in heaven.
I think my brother said it best: “Danni was loved. She was a badass. She was smart. She was beautiful. She lost a tough battle. She was only 35. I know I will look back sometimes and be happy. Or be sad. Or be angry. But I will always look back and remember how much it meant to me to have her as my sister. She’s unforgettable. But addiction is a terrible disease. For those of you with addicts in your life, I encourage you to do everything you can to push them to get help. Please don’t enable them. But no matter what you do, spread some kindness. Give someone a little extra grace. Life is hard enough, so do what you can to make it easier on each other.”
My family will be celebrating my life on Sunday, November 3, 2024 at the West Salem American Legion in West Salem from 1 to 4 p.m. Please come and share your funny Danni stories with my family. They need that right now.
Coulee Region Cremation Group is assisting the family at this time.
God bless you Danni!!! I’m sure you are at peace now and no longer suffering. I’m sorry we didn’t get to know each other better, and that you couldn’t beat your disease. I love you pretty lady. Rest in Peace. 🙏🙏
We are so sorry to hear about Danni, prayers and hugs to your family. RiP
Such a beautiful soul gone to soon. We both went to West Salem Middle and High School. I was a grade below you (class of 2009) I always loved you from afar. Everyone loved you and adored you. Me, being the shy girl, never had the confidence to talk to you. I am also struggling with alcohol addiction and cannot seem to stop. No one knows.
You are a gorgeous soul gone to soon. You are up there with my mom, dad, grandpa, grandma, and 2 uncles. I hope you guys cross paths. I’m sure you would love them. Anyways, you are/were so loved even by people you never knew. RIP ❤️
Beautiful inside and out, you will be remembered always. RIP Danni. The battle is over. You can rest easy and watch over your sweet boy. I know you will be with him always.❤️💔
So so sorry for your loss
Forever in my heart, my sister. Love you more than words.
Love,
Sissy bear
This breaks my heart, my prayers for Danny’s recovery were many. God has taken her in his arms and carried her to heaven. Rest in peace my dear.
My deepest sympathies for Connie. Teddy. and all Danni’s relatives and friends. God bless you all and give you peace.
I’m absolutely devastated Danni has passed and I never even got to meet her in person. My heart just aches for her family. And Teddy hasn’t left my thoughts.
Danni and I had an ex in common so we never really talked much. But a little over a year ago we started messaging each other quite a bit and I got to know her.
She was funny, she was sweet, she was kind, she was real, she defended me when I needed it the most. I was surprised how much I liked someone I had only ever messaged. She truly made me feel a little less alone in this world. As she said “we have each other” and it was true because only Danni and I knew what we had gone through. And we knew it was real.
I know that my world lost a lot of sunshine when I heard of her passing and so my heart is just broken for her family.
Connie and family, I’m so sorry you had to lose your beautiful daughter at such a young age. Hugs and prayers to all of you.
My deepest condolences to her entire family. I worked with Danni for several years and she was one of my absolute favorite people. She was a smart, kind, and beautiful human inside and out who loved Teddy so deeply.
