The world lost a vibrant light on November 1, 2025, when Arrington Renee Siler, 22, passed away unexpectedly in Forestburg, Texas. She was the beloved daughter of Chris Siler and Amy Jenkins Siler, and a cherished sister to Amelia Siler.
A Beautiful Soul and Creative Spirit
Arrington had a kind and beautiful soul, characterized by her infectious sense of humor and her fierce love for her family and friends. She was deeply passionate about her faith and spirituality, actively studying the Bible every week.
A naturally gifted artist, Arrington loved to express her feelings through drawing and painting. She possessed a bright, curious mind and enjoyed exploring new and interesting subjects like astrology, astronomy, and geology. Her love of travel was sparked as a teenager when she visited London, England, with her grandparents, where she enjoyed touring, shopping, and seeing several amazing musicals.
From a young age, Arrington enjoyed being active, especially playing soccer while she was growing up. She was a talented musician with the voice of an angel. She enjoyed every genre of music and loved to share that passion. She could play beautiful music on several instruments, including the piano, bass clarinet, and ukulele. In high school, she earned top honors playing bass clarinet as a member of the Wind Symphony ensemble.
Dedication and Ambition
Arrington was proud of her independence as she strived to get a foothold in life. She was simultaneously attending North Central Texas College, exploring her passions and interests, while working as a server at Cracker Barrel. She loved her job and made many close friends while working side by side with them.
In her desire to help others, Arrington dedicated time to volunteering at the food bank and participating in activities like hiking and picking up trash.
Loving Bonds
Some of the family's best memories were made during movie and game nights, and on family trips to Colorado, Oklahoma, and Florida, enjoying resorts, water parks, beaches, and outdoor activities like kayaking. Arrington also enjoyed the quiet moments, like learning to fish with her grandfather.
Arrington and her sister, Amelia, were best friends who loved to do everything together, whether it was doing hair, nails, and makeup, watching shows, or riding together through the beautiful countryside listening to music. They shared a bond that transcended sisterhood.
Arrington found great joy and comfort in her beloved cats, Snickers, Symba, Stella, Critter, and Fred, often snuggling or playing with them.
