The family will receive friends from 12 noon until the hour of service at 2:00PM. Born August 12, 1994 to Servando and Ana G. Figueroa Lara Enriquez, Daniella was the youngest of 8 children. Her brothers say that she was “The Favorite”. Daniella graduated from Hickman County High School in 2013, attended UT Chattanooga and was to have graduated from Columbia State in May of this year. She always dreamed of having 2 jobs – a translator and a teacher. As a child in kindergarten, Daniella translated for other children. Her first grade teacher said she wished she had “a room full of Daniellas”. In high school, Daniella was a cheerleader, was involved in theater and travelled to London to represent Hickman County in a parade. Her senior year, she was voted “Best Dressed” and Homecoming Queen. Daniella loved to travel and took multiple trips to Guatemala to distribute clothing to the poor. She loved dressing up – especially at Halloween, was an avid Harry Potter fan, listened to the “oldies” music station and LOVED Frank Sinatra. She loved animals so much that she refused to eat fish because she had a pond filled with Koi. Last year, Daniella was granted a trip to California, courtesy of The Dream Foundation where she spent 3 weeks with her family. She was the speaker and honoree at the Dreamland Gala on November 5, 2018 in Santa Barbara, CA. The event raised over one million dollars that night. Daniella’s family would like to thank everyone for the love and support during her illness, especially Beverly Headley, Ellen Kirk, Nancy Black, Becky Farmer, Alive Hospice and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Franklin.
