PINEVILLE, SC — In Loving Memory of Danielle Mitchell.
The small, close-knit community of Pineville, South Carolina, is reeling from the heartbreaking and unexpected loss of Danielle Mitchell, who passed away suddenly on April 24, 2025. A devoted mother of five, beloved local entrepreneur, and gifted hair braider, Danielle’s death has left not just a family, but an entire town, mourning a life that brought beauty, warmth, and strength to so many.
Danielle was more than a business owner—she was a beacon of hope and resilience. As the proud founder of DanniStyles Braiding Studio, her artistry was renowned throughout the region, drawing in clients from all over the Lowcountry who admired her precision, her creativity, and her welcoming spirit. But beyond her talents with her hands, it was her heart that made the biggest impact.
To walk into DanniStyles was to walk into Danielle’s world: one filled with love, laughter, and empowerment. She had a way of making every person who sat in her chair feel seen, valued, and beautiful—not just on the outside, but within. She offered mentorship to young women, gave free services to those in need, and built her brand from the ground up as a single mother of five. Her hustle, determination, and grace in the face of life’s challenges inspired many.
Danielle’s children were the center of her universe. Every braid, every long night of work, every sacrifice—she did it for them. Her passing leaves an unimaginable void in their lives, and in the lives of those who relied on her guidance and friendship. She was a nurturer, a provider, and a fighter who believed deeply in the power of faith, family, and community.
As Pineville comes to terms with this profound loss, grief has turned into action. Vigils have been held in her honor, and community members are rallying around Danielle’s children, determined to carry her legacy forward. Plans are underway to establish a scholarship fund in her name, supporting young women pursuing careers in beauty, entrepreneurship, or creative arts—just as Danielle would have wanted.
The circumstances surrounding her sudden death remain under investigation, leaving loved ones with both heartbreak and unanswered questions. Yet even in this moment of sorrow, there is comfort in remembering the joy and purpose Danielle brought to every life she touched.
She was not just a mother. Not just a stylist. Not just a businesswoman.
Danielle Mitchell was a light—and her light will continue to shine through the lives of her children, her clients, and the countless people who were blessed to know her.
May she rest in peace, surrounded by the same love she gave so freely in life.
Please continue to keep the Mitchell family, especially her children, in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly painful time.
