Arianna Rotondo-Padilla

 Our beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend, has left her sweet and loving essence as she journeys onward to begin her new chapter, dancing among the stars.

 Arianna “Ari” Dominique Rotondo-Padilla was born in Roswell, NM on May 26, 1998 to Marisol Rotondo-Padilla. Ari graduated from Monte Del Sol Charter School, in 2016. Ari was an amazing person always so loving and kind. A creative and artistic soul she loved to express herself through her art and dance. She was beautiful, kind, funny and talented.

Ari loved her family, friends, animals and art more than anything else. She had a calmness about her, always present in the moment. Her laugh was little but her personality was big, her smile was infectious and her love forever a blessing. She loved unconditionally.

 Arianna has left behind her loving and devoted pet companion Athena, her grandmother Jan Rotondo, whom she shared a special bond with. Her mother and sister Marisol and Alena Rotondo-Padilla as well as numerous other family, friends and fur babies, who will carry Ari’s love and memories with them always.

 A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday June 14, 2022 from 5:00 – 7:30 pm at the Jean Cocteau Theater (418 Montezuma Ave., Santa Fe, NM 87501). In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the animal shelter, an animal rescue organization of your choice or the ACLU.org.

Friends and family are encouraged to leave kind messages and support here, upload photos, and share stories of Arianna's vibrancy and impact.
