Abigail Rose Entsminger, a vibrant spirit born on April 11, 2006, in Dayton, Ohio, left this world too soon on August 18, 2025, in Xenia, Ohio. Her sweet and melodramatic personality made her the heart of every gathering, embodying a unique blend of humor and kindness that drew people closer to her. Abigail was not just a daughter and sister; she was a friend, confidante, and a beacon of love.

Abigail brought joy and laughter to her family, often finding herself in fits of giggles that would culminate in the most delightful snorts—so much so that making her snort became a beloved family pastime. She attended Xenia High School, where her intelligence shone brightly, and her bubbly nature made her a cherished presence among her peers.

Creative at heart, Abigail was passionately engaged in various hobbies. She found solace in crocheting, spent hours writing her novel, and expressed her artistic side through painting. Aspiring to be a film director, Abigail was the kind of person who embraced her dreams with open arms. Her love for hiking reflected her adventurous spirit and her desire to explore the beauty of nature.

Above all, Abby was profoundly dedicated to her family, especially her siblings—Zach, Phoebe, Alyssa, Louis, Nate, Eli, Avanah, Bonnie, and Rosie. She took immense pride in nurturing them, always concerned about their well-being and happiness. Their laughter and shared moments were her greatest accomplishments, and she built her life around these precious bonds.

Abigail is survived by her loving parents, Errol and Maggie Sheehan, and Tonya and George Herald, as well as her cherished grandparents, John and Teresa Sheehan, and Robert Stubbs, Meg and Mitch Kearns. The echoes of her laughter will forever resonate in the hearts of her numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Her departure leaves a void that can never truly be filled, especially for those who had the honor of sharing in her life. In her short time with us, Abigail taught us the importance of kindness, laughter, and family, and her memory will continue to inspire those who knew and loved her. In remembrance, we celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the countless smiles she brought into the world. She will be deeply missed, especially by her beloved cousin, Ariana Engle, who welcomed Abigail into eternity.

Please check back as her family will be holding a celebration of life for Abigail on a future date.
