Fayeah Danielson

On July 29th, 2025, heaven gained, but we lost, a beautiful angel. Fayeah NovaLee Danielson was born on December 21st, 2016 in Crete, Nebraska. In her 8 short years on this Earth, Fayeah touched the lives of everyone she met. She had a knack for making friends wherever she went with her bubbly personality and contagious laugh, she melted hearts. Her pure, radiant smile wasn't only seen but felt and is forever etched in our souls.

Fayeah enjoyed being outdoors, where her wild spirit could be free. Running the neighborhood with her friends, they could often be spotted riding bikes, creating dance routines or splashing around in the pool. She took advantage of every minute spent out at the lake; fishing, swimming with her cousins, exploring and sharing her sense of wonder with her little brother.

When weather kept Fayeah indoors, she spent many hours with her mom, crafting and creating priceless works of art. She could also enjoy solitude, cozied up in her room listening to Taylor Swift and letting her magnificent mind wander. Fayeah had a infatuation with Stitch. She often sported the furry, blue creature when she wasn't dazzling the world in dresses that reflected her vibrant personality.

Though life threw her many curveballs, she persevered with a smile on her face and a song in her heart. Fayeah did not have roadblocks in her life, only speedbumps, that she hurdled over with pep in her step. She most recently attended Shelby - Rising City Public School where she will be remembered for never knowing what she would say or do next. Fayeah loved to be in any possible activity she could, most recently, t-ball, wrestling, basketball & track, where she always walked away with at least one new friend by her side.

Fayeah is preceded in death by her sister, Hayven Danielson; father, Dylan D. Danielson; great-aunt, Donna Wieczorek; great-grandparents, Dorothy Flynn & Donald E. McCarville.
