Vanessa Yurley Saenz

Vanessa Yurley Saenz, 20, of Coconut Creek, FL passed away tragically on June 26, 2022. Born on October 10, 2001, Vanessa was born in Cali, Colombia before her parents adopted her, transitioning to life in Coconut Creek, FL at age 7. 
 
Without knowing any English, Vanessa began first grade where she quickly excelled in her studies and also the English language- frequently correcting her mother's vocabulary. She tested her guitar skills, refined her piano playing ability, loved swimming, gymnastics and especially ice skating while in elementary school. As she began middle school, Vanessa's social skills developed along with her passion for track, which continued into high school. During her high school years, Vanessa's work ethic blossomed. She spent her free time as a receptionist for Venetian Nail Spa and managed to graduate in a mere three years from Monarch High School. 
 
As Vanessa transitioned to college for nursing, her love of medicine took hold of her career path as well. She began a position with Palm Vascular Center of Delray Beach as a Medical Assistant where she was adored and commended for her talents, knowledge, and quick adaptability to her new surroundings. 
Frequenting the gym and the beach in her free time, Vanessa was blessed with a small group of very close friends that benefited from her generous, loyal, and sweet spirit. 
 
Her cherished memory and beautiful smile will forever live in the hearts of her parents, Ron and Silvia Saenz; her maternal grandmother, Ester Pacinga; and her paternal grandmother, Dale Saenz.   

A Memorial Gathering will be held on July 13, 2022 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with a service beginning at 3:30 PM.
