Siya Singla

It’s with a very heavy heart that we Singla family are sharing the sad news of the passing of Siya Singla, who was tragically taken away from us on January 4, 2025, at just 13 years old.

Siya was born on August 11, 2011 in Rochester, New York. Siya was a very artistic girl who loved to sing. She would sing soft melodies like an angel, and went from singing in the shower to giving performances, with dreams of one day appearing on America’s Got Talent. She also enjoyed dancing and gave many performances on stage since she was just 5 years old.

Siya was a kind and a compassionate girl always extending a helping hand to those in need. She believed in equality and at such a young age could stand tall stressing the importance of equality. She was ambitious and smart, constantly pushing her boundaries and setting new goals for herself.

It was her creativity that truly set her apart. She chose to spend most of her free time making art, either making colorful drawings showcasing her personality traits or vibrant paintings that would light up any room they were placed in. Whenever she’d finish a piece, she’d always proudly show it off to her family, and then put it in her room for decoration along with her other pieces. Her art would also frequently be exhibited in our town’s art gallery. When not making art, she’d spend her time reading books like the Percy Jackson series or finishing episodes of Outer Banks or Gilmore Girls.

It’s unbelievable to think about how disciplined she was. Even if she didn’t have school, she’d have her alarm set for 7 am, ready to start the day off strong. She was an incredible tennis player, spending hours practicing daily and competing in tournaments every weekend. She was also incredibly smart, and was a part of the Westfield Gifted and Talented Program.

Her favorite color was Turquoise. She loved buying clothes from Athleta and Hollister, and kept a pretty large collection of soaps and skincare products from Sephora and Bath and Body Works. Her favorite food was definitely sushi, and she always enjoyed her avocado or sweet potato tempura rolls. And we can’t forget to mention how much she loved her stuffed animals.

She was brave and fought for her life till the last breath. She, before and after her disease was diagnosed, taught many life lessons to her family members and those very close to her. She would smile even when the disease had crippled her with the inability to move, control her neck, speak or swallow. She wanted to live but her life was snatched away too soon from her.

We will deeply miss Siya, and her presence is never going to leave our hearts. Siya is still surrounded by the love of her parents, Ashima and Amit Singla, her grandmother Promila Marya, her siblings, and her stuffed animal, Rabbit. Siya will be missed by her extended family including her Uncle Ankur Singla, Aunt Savita Singla, Uncle Raman Marya, Aunt Meghna Bhardwaj.

Dear our Siya, we are all so grateful for coming into our life, we are grateful for the time we spent together and the memories we got to make with you. Your will stay in our hearts forever.

In celebrating Siya's life, we encourage you to share your memories and photos of her on the memorial page. Each memory is a tribute, a testament to her vibrant life and the profound impact she had on those around her. As we grieve, let us remember that "There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains." And Siya's light will continue to shine in our hearts forever.
