Sydney Josephine Wickham, beloved daughter of Aaron & Valerie Wickham, went home to Heaven on Wednesday, February 9, 2022 at the age of 4.
Sydney was born in Akron on November 3, 2017, with a rare genetic neurodegenerative condition. Despite her limitations, she let her voice be known. Sydney was deeply loved from the day she was born. She is now making her voice known in Heaven while singing, dancing, running, and doing all the things she never got a chance to on earth.
She is survived by her parents Valerie (Eichler) and Aaron Wickham; brother Charlie; grandparents Denny & Marilyn Eichler and Greg & Lori Wickham; great-grandparents Yvonda Westfall, John & Billie Wickham, and Jay E. & Donna Schneider; uncles Greg (Tiffany) & Matt (Mary) Eichler and Andrew (Mallory) & Adam Wickham; many cousins and other loved ones.
The family will receive friends Monday, February 21 from 11 to 1 at the North Canton Chapel, 715 Whittier Ave NW, in North Canton, where a funeral service will be celebrated at 1PM. Masks will be provided and required for all in attendance. Anyone feeling ill in any capacity is asked to please join us in spirit through the livestream . Interment at St. Jacob Cemetery.
