Danielle Rose "Dani" Zeller was born on May 22, 2002 in Bismarck, ND to Kristine Zeller and Danny Clark, of Carson, ND. She had a zest for life and loved her Care Bears and Baby Dolls. Dani had a love for music and especially loved listening to AC/DC, Def Leppard and "hard rock".
Dani enjoyed school and was in the 4th Grade at Carson, ND.

Her classmates and teachers were blessed by her touching their lives in many unique ways. Dani's abundant laughter, her smile and her zest for life will remain as a "ray of light" to all of those who knew her.

Dani enjoyed watching her uncle, George light fireworks on the 4th of July each year. She loved to watch her classmates play and enjoyed watching Jacob play his video games. Dani would greet all of her classmates and teachers each morning at school and that same smile would return as her Mom, Kristine would pick her up from school. She loved books, especially about Clifford the dog, Curious George and Princess stories. Her favorite color was green.

She seemed to touch deeply every life she came across. Her wonderful nature and great sense of humor will be remembered. Dani enjoyed racing her school buddy, Chase in her wheelchair at school and wanted whoever was pushing her to "go faster!" A favorite event for Dani was the school Christmas Concert. She enjoyed doing the moves and actions along with the music.

Dani's love for everyone included the "boys". She was "boy crazy" as some of her teachers know. She would giggle at the sight of Mr. Jones or Mr. Fox.

Her gift of life that she gave to her family, her friends, classmates, teachers and caregivers is truly special in each of their hearts and will be cherished forever.

Dani passed away suddenly on January 3, 2012 at the Jacobson Memorial Hospital in Elgin with her mother at her side. Her "ray of light" will be forever missed, but not forgotten.

Blessed to have been a part of Dani's ray of light are her parents, Kristine Zeller and Danny Clark, of Carson, ND; her siblings, Josh Clark, Marie (Arron) Woods, Brittny Selstedt and Jacob Selstedt; aunts and uncles, Michelle Wolf Necklace, Norvin Clark, JoAnn (Walter) Czerwinski, George (Annette) Zeller, LuCinda (Eric) Pincince and Marnie (Shannon) Selstedt; her maternal Grandmother, Ethel Zeller, Paternal Grandparents, Gordon and Adela Clark, numerous other family members, many friends and her classmates. Dani was preceded in death by her maternal Grandfather, Albert Zeller and an aunt, Leta Clark.

In lieu of flowers, a Memorial has been established by Dani's family.
