Christel Marie Siro

 In Memorials

Christel Marie Siro of Sparta passed away peacefully with her mother by her side on Sunday March 6, 2022. Daughter of Francis A. Siro & Carol M. Taubert, Christel was born in Denville, N.J. and was a 1992 graduate of Pope John H.S. She courageously fought several illnesses for many years.

She worked several jobs in her field of environmental science. Eventually, she got the job of her dreams doing environmental contract work at Picatinny Arsenal. Christel enjoyed her Giants and Devils teams, horror movies. Musically, she loved the Grateful Dead and all of the 60’s & 70’s music, and she enjoyed playing the piano and flute. Family & friends say that when you had Christel as a friend – you were a friend for life. She loved her family with a passion; they meant everything to her. She had a big heart which quickly surrounded everyone she met.

She is survived by her parents, Francis Siro of Hampton; her mother, Carol Siro of Sparta; her brother Matthew and his wife Juliet of Sparks, Nevada; her sister Laura and her husband Brian McKenna of Newton; and her sister Stephanie and her husband Michael Totin of Pittsford, New York. She is also survived by her Uncle Stevie and his wife Lorry of Hope, New Jersey; and her Uncle Tommy of Orwigsburg, PA. She also has four nephews and 2 nieces. Besides being a doting aunt, she was godmother to her nephew, Jacob. She also left behind several wonderful cousins and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you either make a donation to either St. Jude’s, Operation Smile or the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. Visitation will be held Friday March 11, 2022 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the Iliff-Ruggiero Funeral Home 156 Main St. (Rt. 206) Newton, N.J.
