Obituary of Mya Marie Tinajero

Mya Marie Tinajero Age 10, passed away peacefully Wednesday, March 22, 2017, at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL after a brave battle with Neuroblastoma. Mya was born and raised in Joliet and attended Family of Faith Christian Academy in Channahon where she was a fourth grade student. She was your typical little girl that loved everything Disney and being a princess. At an early age, she discovered her love of being in front of the camera and started creating her own YouTube videos where her theme was always anything "Shopkins". Mya loved to swim, she was a fish in the water. But more than anything, she loved her family and will be truly missed by all that knew her. Survived by her parents, Antonio and Misti Tinajero; paternal grandparents, Antonio and Josefina Tinajero; maternal grandmother, Susan (Ken) Swearengin; aunts, Margarita (Victor) Garcia, Jacqueline Tinajero, Claudia Tinajero and Michelle (Dennis) Strenk; and her very close cousins, Sofia and Elena Garcia. Preceded by her maternal grandfather, Luciano Alberico. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the entire staff at the Keyser Center at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital for their love, support and care of Mya throughout her long battle.
