Elaina Marie Smith was born May 24, 2010 in Lancaster, PA to parents Tiffany Landis and Dwayne Smith. Elaina was a light to all who knew and loved her and her joy and kindness impacted everyone she met. Her curious spirit, love of life, sparkling personality, beaming smile, and infectious laugh could bring light to the darkest room. Elaina was an avid lover of animals and enjoyed exploring new foods and places with her family. She was an exceptional student who made sure to spread kindness and positivity to her teachers and classmates and showed her selfless character in the ways she recognized and responded to the human needs around her. In her free time, you could find Elaina being the best big sister playing with her siblings or snuggling up to watch her favorite National Geographic shows. In her 12 short years, Elaina Marie experienced a life full of love, laughter, experiences and happiness which will be remembered by all who loved her.
