ONE LAST PARTY
A tribute to Danielle Quinn
When Danielle Quinn joined the Ayrshire Magazine team back in September 2025, she brought with her an air of sophistication and a welcome touch of glamour.
An enthusiastic content creator, Danielle was an instant hit not only with her colleagues but with everyone associated with the magazine – readers, advertisers, sponsors and contributors.
She made an instant impact, creating imaginative and engaging content across all social media platforms, winning many hearts and ample respect along the way.
Her effervescence was all the more remarkable considering her ongoing battle with cancer.
Danielle was diagnosed with Stage 3 low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC) in December 2022, a rare slow-growing ovarian cancer, and major surgery followed.
Determined to fight the disease, further treatment ensued, a difficult journey which she shared with her followers and which she continued to navigate whilst remaining not just positive but spirited.
Danielle passed away peacefully on Thursday 8th October. She died at Ayrshire Hospice in the arms of her partner, Ryan, who shared the sad news saying: “There will never be another quite like my D.”
A celebration of Danielle’s life was held on Tuesday 27th October. For a girl who loved to party, it was a fitting tribute and the perfect farewell for someone who lit up the lives of so many. Friends and family dressed to impress wearing outfits Danielle herself would’ve been proud of. It was a beautiful occasion for a beautiful lady and the perfect celebration of her short but oh so vibrant life.
It’s hard to put into words the lasting impression she made on everyone here at Ayrshire Magazine. Her time with us may have been short but she touched each and every one of us with her courage, her energy and her appetite for life.
As difficult as it is to speak and write of Danielle in the past tense, it’s reassuring that we are doing so in this ‘Party’ edition of the magazine. If ever there was an appropriate theme for the dynamic, vivacious and elegant Danielle, this was it.
The sky now has an extra star. Long may it sparkle.
