Gianna Maria Alexy
Our baby, Gianna Maria Alexy, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Tuesday, April 5, 2011. Gianna Maria was born on September 15, 2010. During her short six months in this world, she touched many lives and was loved deeply by family and friends. We will always remember her contagious smile and her determination to conquer the odds. We will forever be inspired by her pure sweetness and her endless strength.
Gianna Maria is the daughter of Amy (VonStein) and David Alexy, of Cuyahoga Falls. She will be deeply missed by her older brother, Isaac David, who loved her with his whole heart. Additionally, she is survived by her maternal grandparents, Jean (Siciliano) and Larry VonStein of Stow, and her paternal grandparents, Joyce (Buchan) and Paul Alexy of Merritt Island, Florida. She is survived by several aunts and uncles, Krista (VonStein) and Kevin Romance of Stow; Doug and Andrea Alexy and Julee Crossan-Alexy, all of Bay Village. She will be missed by her many cousins. She will be especially remembered by her great-aunt and godmother, Vicki Siciliano.
Gianna touched everyone that came in contact with her and we would like to request that her love continue to be shared. In lieu of flowers, we would be honored if donations were made in her memory to Akron Children's Hospital Foundation, One Perkins Square, Akron, Ohio 44308-1062. These donations will be used to support the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and The Heart Center. The amazing doctors and nurses in these two areas gave Gianna unending love and support during her life. Funeral services will be held at Holy Family Church, 3179 Kent Road Stow, OH 44224, on Friday, April 8, 2011 at 10:30 AM with a burial at Standing Rock Cemetery in Kent, Ohio.
