DANNI DEA BRACCO

Danni Dea Bracco, born on November 30, 1949, in Omaha, Nebraska, departed from this world on May 30, 2025, in Globe, Arizona, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her. Her compassionate spirit extended far beyond her role as a nurse, where she served at Gila General Hospital until its closure and continued her calling at Heritage Healthcare in Globe, exemplifying the care and dedication she offered to her patients and their families.

Danni was much more than her profession; she was a vibrant soul whose laughter and smile illuminated every room she entered. To her family and friends, she was a nurturing presence who created a warm and loving atmosphere. Some of the fondest memories shared are of afternoons spent harvesting vegetables right from her flourishing plants, a testament to her impressive gardening skills that brought fresh produce to her loved ones' tables.

A woman of many hobbies, Danni found joy in playing board games, tackling puzzles, and engaging in spirited games of pool and darts. Her love for softball resonated deeply within her, a sport she cherished and missed greatly as time passed. She not only thrived in nurturing her beautiful flowers but also infused her culinary creations with love, especially her renowned cinnamon bread, which will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to savor it.

She was a proud mother to Wendy K. Bennett, Christopher S. Bennett, Steven D. (Patrice) Bracco, Veronica Bracco, and James P. (Kami) Bracco, nurturing her children with endless love and support. As a wife, Danni shared a profound partnership with her beloved husband, John Bracco. Together, they created a family filled with warmth and connection that radiated through their eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, who adored her immensely.

Danni's legacy is also tied to her late parents, William and Holly Martin, who guided her through the early years of her life. She is survived by her loving brother, Robert Martin, and her cherished sister, Peggy Palmer, who will forever hold her in their hearts.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Thema, especially Charlene, Brandy, Madison, and Kelly, for their unwavering care, love, and support during this difficult time. Danni Dea Bracco’s spirit will remain alive in the memories shared and the lives she touched.

A memorial service will take place on June 14, 2025, at St. John's Episcopal Church in Globe, Arizona, commencing at 10:00 AM, followed by her burial at St. John's Memorial Garden. Danni’s warmth and kindness will forever be remembered and cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing her.
