From the time she was very young her sense of humor and intelligence eminated from her little being. Even when she was baptized at 3 months she stopped the young priest mid-ceremony due to the fact that she watched him intently and he felt she was taking in his every word. That was Sierra, her quiet observant, nature brought grace into all situations as she could gauge what was needed and when. This is what made her shy sense of humor perfectly timed and well received.
She cared deeply for everyone. She brought joy into situations and was able to resolve conflict with an insight beyond her years. One of the best memories of Sierra was as a young child she would tie pretty ribbons on the drawer handles, she wanted to bring beauty and her artful touch everywhere she went. Every day we can all hope to run into that beauty with all the spirit that has been left behind in all she has touched. We miss her tremendously and wish beyond words that we could give her one more hug. We love you Sierra.
Sierra is survived by her parents, Jill Loforte Carroll, of Lake Bluff, IL her father, Daniel Carroll of Park Ridge, IL and by her sister, Kelly Carroll. She is also survived by her maternal grandparents, Anthony and Janet Loforte of Huntley, IL and by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

I was so sorry to hear the news that Sierra passed away so suddenly. Sierra was a very gifted artist, very thoughtful and such a hard worker. Sierra was a delight to have in class and will be sorely missed by all that knew her.
I read your obituary in the paper this morning. You and I are the same age, I dont know you, but your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Its a shame that the world has lost someone so young. I can tell that you brought beauty into this world. May your family find solace in such a tragedy.
Dear Janet, Tony and Family, Its difficult to understand why young ones are taken from us. May you find solace and peace in your faith in God, in the support of family and friends and in your fond memories of Sierra. Our prayers are with you all.
