Siena DeLanoy

Siena was born March 27,1997 in Charlottesville, VA to Robin and Charles DeLanoy. When Siena wasn’t exploring the world, she was a dedicated caretaker to any animal that would cross her path. She would brighten Charlottesville’s day as the radio personality “Hayden Hayes” on Rock Hits 92.3 and as an energetic employee for PetSmart. Through all the trials and tribulations of life, you could almost always find Siena with a smile on her face living life on life’s terms. She was passionate about recycling in order to make the world a little bit brighter. Siena loved to move and appreciate the beauty that was out in nature. She hiked mountains both figurative and literal and pushed herself to be the best that she could be. Siena was absolutely a wonderful person and will be missed by everyone she touched with her pure radiant spirit.

Siena is survived by her father Charles, mother Robin, sister Catherine of Charlottesville, VA, grandmother Carol Strotheide of Grand Rapids, Mi, her Uncles Robert DeLanoy, Jr, of Walled Lake, MI, Jeffrey DeLanoy (Phyllis) of Apollo Beach FL, Daniel Strotheide (Kathy) of Haymarket, VA, Thomas Strotheide (Stephanie) of Walker, MI, her Aunts Cheryl Whitener (Paul) of Briarcliff Manor, NY, Kathy Bailey (Shawn) of Grand Rapids, MI, Godmother Cousin Karen Berardi (John) of Warren, MI, her best friend and world traveler Austin Hoeckelman of Louisa, VA, and her animals Lillie and Jimmie.

Siena is preceded in death by her grandfather Philip Strotheide and her paternal grandparents Robert and Helen DeLanoy, and her cat Callie.
