DELANEY PAIGE NALEPKA, age 14, of Chagrin Falls. Cherished daughter of Timothy J. and Courtney L. (nee Brzeczko); loving sister of Hunter P. and Maeve E.; beloved granddaughter of Barbara C. and the late Regis J. Nalepka, and Linda C. and Adam J. Brzeczko; dearest niece of Tiffany A. (Thomas) Notaro; dear cousin of Natalie, Luke and Molly Notaro. Delaney had a zest for life like no other. She was the type of person who would compliment a stranger’s necklace, who would sing Hamilton lyrics in a room full of people as if no one were watching, who adored animals, and loved her family. She sang and danced her way through the darkest times of her leukemia treatment and her faith never wavered. Delaney reminded everyone she met to live for today and always stay positive. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 21 at St. Joan of Arc Church, 496 E. Washington St., Chagrin Falls at 11:00 A.M. Wearing of masks and social distancing will be observed.
