VICTIM'S NEW LIFE CUT SHORT

Three days after the Feb. 8 wedding, the 40-year-old mother of three became violently ill and died.

A 44-year-old man from the nearby Olympia suburb of Lacey in western Washington died a week later of cyanide poisoning after he also took Sudafed 12 Hour decongestant capsules. A second woman poisoned by a tainted Sudafed capsule survived.

Daneker's family described her as a religious woman, an optimist and a patriot whose house was decorated with American flags and yellow ribbons hung in support of the troops in the Persian Gulf.

They said she was embarking on a new life in remarrying Ken Daneker and hunting for a job. A day after her death, an employer called with a possible job offer, said her oldest son, Ken, 18.
