Danielle Parks taught at Brock University in the Department of Classics (now the Department of Classics and Archaeology) from 2001 until her death in 2007. She was instrumental in creating the Master of Arts in Classics program at Brock.

Even after being diagnosed with leukemia in late 2004, Danielle continued her wonderful work teaching, writing, giving public lectures, and participating in archaeological excavations. She continued supporting her students and colleagues even from her hospital bed.

Danielle and her work are remembered in many ways, including the annual Danielle Anne Parks Memorial Scholarship at Brock University to support BU graduates studying Greco-Roman culture and The Danielle Parks Memorial Fellowship at the CAARI, set up for graduate students of any nationality who are working on the archaeology of Cyprus.
