Eliyanah Marie Herrod passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday May 17th, 2024 in San Diego, California. Born March 8th, 2019, Eliyanah was the tender age of five at her passing. During her five years of life on Earth, Eliyanah touched the hearts of many, and her smile absolutely lit up the room. Eliyanah’s favorite television shows and movies were Gabby’s Dollhouse, Daniel Tiger, Trolls, and Cry Babies. Eliyanah was a sassy little firecracker, and if she did not like something- her facial expressions would say it all.
Every single day she would pick a flower and give it to one of her siblings, or her mother or father. Eliyanah’s favorite sayings were “I smell like an onion!” and “Hugga Mugga”. Eliyanah’s favorite advice to give was ” Eat Healthy!” and “Keep your eyes on the cars!”.
Eliyanah is survived by her mother Danielle Herrod; her father Dominique Lee Herrod; her two older brothers Dominique Lee Herrod Jr, 14; and Kaiden Lee Herrod, 8; her grandparents; Charlotte Marshall, John Potts, Arlene Potts, Eddie Herrod, and Lorraine Herrod; and her many aunts, uncles, and cousins. In heaven, Eliyanah joins her great-grandmothers, great-aunts, great-uncles, grandma, uncles, cousins, and her father’s best friend.
Service was held June 4th, 2024 at Lemon Grove Community Church by Preferred Cremation and Burial
