Danielle Kilgore Obituary, Death – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Danielle “Lulu” Rae Kilgore, a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, who peacefully departed from this world on Tuesday, December 19, 2023, in Jefferson City, MO. She was 46 years old. Born on November 3, 1977, at St. Mary’s Hospital, Danielle was the cherished daughter of David Kilgore and “B” Bonnie Barbour. Danielle dedicated her professional life to the automotive industry, serving as a car sales associate for dealerships in Central Missouri and Florida. Her warm and outgoing personality made her a natural in connecting with people.

Danielle’s zest for life was infectious, and she found joy in the simple pleasures—whether it was spending time with family and friends, engaging in her passion for writing, indulging in the art of coloring, dancing, playing pool, participating in volleyball and softball, or simply enjoying the feel of sand between her toes. Her boundless compassion and generosity endeared her to everyone she encountered, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. A 1996 graduate of Ed White High School in Jacksonville, FL, Danielle continued her educational journey, earning an associate’s degree from the University of North Florida (UNF).

Surviving her are her father and bonus mom, David and DeDra Kilgore of Jefferson City, MO; four sisters, Amy Houston (Tony) of Jefferson City, MO, Erin Jones-Buskirk (Michael) of Bonita Springs, FL, Twin Sister, Diedre Scheulen (Tim) of Linn, MO, and Lindsay Kilgore of Freeburg, MO. Additionally, she is survived by two brothers, Mitch Whitley (Tara) and Josh Whitley, both of Hilliard, FL; seven nieces, nine nephews, and three great-nieces. Danielle was preceded in death by her mother, “B” Bonnie Barbour; brother, Mike Whitley; and baby Hope.

A visitation to celebrate Danielle’s vibrant life will be held on Friday, December 29, 2023, at the California United Methodist Church from 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M., with the funeral immediately following at 11:00 A.M. The service will be officiated by Pastor Nick Van Dam. As we bid farewell to Danielle, let us remember her radiant spirit, the love she shared, and the enduring impact she had on the lives she touched. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory bring solace to those who mourn her passing.
