Sienna Larae Miller

Sienna Larae Miller, a radiant and cherished soul, left this world far too soon on May 1, 2025, at the tender age of 11 months. Born on May 16, 2024, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Sienna’s brief life was a gift of immeasurable love, joy, and light to her family and all who knew her.

From the moment she arrived, Sienna filled every room with her bright spirit. Her first smile melted hearts, her giggles were a melody of pure happiness, and her curious eyes seemed to hold a wisdom beyond her months. In just 11 months, she taught those around her the power of unconditional love and the beauty of life’s smallest moments—snuggling in her parents’ arms, cuddling with her beloved bunny, Baxter, or delighting in the world’s wonders. Her presence was a reminder that even the tiniest life can leave an everlasting mark.

Sienna is deeply missed by her devoted parents, Chad Miller and Heather Shelly, who held her close through every milestone and will carry her love in their hearts forever. She is also survived by her sisters, Shaelyn Biggs of Barling, AR and Emberly Shelly of Van Buren, AR; brothers, Lane Davis of Hackett, AR, and Conor Partosan; grandmother, Lisa Jones, and her husband, Bobby, of Fort Smith, AR; grandmother, LaRhesa Hamilton, and her husband, Charles, of Hackett, AR; grandfather, Reuben Williams, and his wife, Marie, of Spiro, OK; aunts, Annsley Williams of Fort Smith, AR, Bethany Bramucci, and her husband, Zachery, of Van Buren, AR, Whitney Dix, and her husband, Hagan, of Hackett, AR, and Lacey Whatley, and her husband, Andrew, of Fort Smith, AR; uncles, Michael Rush II of Greenwood, AR, Cody Wade of Fort Smith, AR, and Dillon Miller, and his wife, Brittany, of Union, MO; great-grandfathers, Larry Thornton and Howard Gaston of Fort Smith, AR; great-grandmother, Shirlon Elmore of Lavaca, AR; and a community of family and friends who were touched by her warmth. Sienna was preceded in death by her uncle, Zachary Williams of Van Buren, AR. Her short life wove a thread of love through everyone she met, and that thread will never break.

Though her time was brief, Sienna’s legacy is eternal. Her parents find comfort in imagining her as an angel, watching over them with the same gentle spirit she brought to earth. In her memory, Chad and Heather ask that you hold your loved ones a little tighter, cherish every fleeting moment, and spread kindness in Sienna’s name. A celebration of Sienna’s life will be held at Lewis Funeral Chapel, 4817 Kelley Hwy, Fort Smith, Arkansas, with the date and time to be determined, where flowers may be sent to honor her memory.

Sienna Larae Miller, our sweet girl, you were here for just a whisper of time, but your love echoes forever. We will carry you in our hearts until we meet again.

“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” – Matthew 19:14

Funeral Services are to be determined at a later time.
