Obituary For Sienna Elizabeth Berry

Sienna Elizabeth Berry was born in St. Louis, MO, on October 22, 2008 and will forever remain the beloved daughter of Dawn and Douglas Berry and cherished big sister to Luca Berry. She was a light to all who knew her, and that light was extinguished on March 15, 2023.

Sienna attended school at Ascension in St. Louis until her family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina after her 6th grade year. She attended The Franciscan School during 7th grade and transferred to North Raleigh Christian Academy for 8th grade. At only 14, Sienna was a vibrant, adventurous, welcoming, and beautiful soul. She was a spark that scorched deep friendships that remain branded by memories of sleepovers, laughter, and dance. She excelled at everything and was inducted into the National Junior Honors Society at NRCA. She’s adored by her classmates, teachers, coaches, and teammates.

Sienna had an active extracurricular life. She loved traveling and was excited to explore the world. She looked forward to annual ski trips with her dad, and she was an avid dancer and gymnast. She loved to dance at both at CC & Company Complex (Raleigh) and RJs (St. Louis). She was a gymnast at HI-NRG (St. Louis). Sienna loved animals. She cherished her dog, Zoey, and was particularly fond of horses. Sienna was preceded in death by her very much beloved grandmother, Kathy Schroeder Berry, and with her, Sienna is in peace with God in heaven.

Sienna was rich with loved ones. Sienna is survived by her parents, Dawn and Doug Berry, and her brother, Luca Berry; her grandparents: Bradford Berry, Joe (Brenda) Ryan, and Judy Ryan; her aunts and uncle: Joe, Erin (Tim), Shanna (Shawn), Leah (Dakota), Heather, Erin (Ryan), Anna (Rick); her many cousins and friends, who are too numerous to name.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on March 18th at 10am at the Summit Church Capital Hills Campus, 3901 Capital Hills Dr, Raleigh, NC 27616. Friends and family are welcome to a gathering with refreshments after the service.

    I meet sienna in the summer of 2022 at summer camp. I thought of her as a role model and as a big sister. I am deeply saddened by her passing. May God bless you family.

    To Sienna's family, I remember teaching Sienna ballet at RJ's a few years ago. She was a respectful, kind, lovely girl and student. It was a pleasure to have her in class. I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss and will be thinking about and praying for your family in the days to come. May the God of peace, love and comfort draw near, wrapping your family up in his arms and providing you with supernatural comfort and sustaining love. Sincerely, Miss Jessie (RJs dance studio)

    Dawn, Doug, and Luca, we share in your grief and hold you close in our hearts. We will forever love and cherish Sienna. She blessed our family with such joy and happiness and we will honor her always.

    I met Sienna during the summer of 2022 at Fusion Acro tryouts, and remember that she was a really good tumbler. All throughout the year in acro she was very nice to me and always complimenting my dance and aerials. This made me feel good because I was new to the dance studio and she was one of the first friends that I made. Sienna had a very pretty smile and a lively personality. I'm glad I got to perform with her at least once this year. You all had a very kind and caring daughter, and I'm praying for you all and your family.

    Sienna was one of the brightest lights in the room. Her generosity and kindness will be missed. I loved the way her and the other Ascension Girl Scouts invited and welcomed Eliza and Trista into their troop. Sienna will forever be in our hearts as we continue to pray for Dawn, Doug and Luca.

    My 6 year old daughters, Payton and Parker, loved Sienna. She was always so caring and sweet. They sought her out at dance events and loved being around her. She was especially sweet to Parker last weekend. When Parker got hurt during the awards, she held her in the wings offstage until she felt better. ❤️ We will never forget her kindness. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers. She was such a bright light and she will be missed by all.

    I have so many fond memories of Sienna. She always had a smile on. Her smile beamed through her eyes. Photographing her at the family photo shoots was something I looked forward to. She somehow was so natural in front of the camera and beamed beauty from the inside out. She will always be remembered as a ray of light. Rest easy, Sienna. ~The Meyer Family
