Taitlyn was born Monday, Jan. 11, 1999, in Elkins, a daughter of John E. Hughes II and Nicole J. Armstrong Siva. She is also survived by her siblings, Darian Alexa Hughes, age 14, Dalton Tyler Siva, age 6, and Landen Trevor Siva, age 4; paternal grandparents, John Hughes and companion, Sheila Hatley, of Webster Springs, and Joyce Hughes, of Huttonsville; maternal grandparents, Herman and Vickie Armstrong, of Mill Creek; her uncles, Chris Hughes and family of Lousia, Va., and Shane Armstrong, of Hedgesville; great-grandparents, Ina Gear, of Huttonsville, and Larry and Janet Bender, of Warren, Ohio; her stepparents, Jamie Hughes, of Elkins, and Chris Siva, of Martinsburg; one very special great-aunt, Sherry Thomas and husband, Harl, of Nitro; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends.
Taitlyn attended Midland Elementary School in Elkins from kindergarten through fourth grade and Jennings Randolph Elementary School in Elkins during fifth grade, and was currently attending Hedgesville Middle School where she had recently become a cheerleader and had been chosen to receive the Citizenship Award. She was a member of Center Stage Studio of Dance, Elkins; United Soccer; Rhythm and Motion Dance Studio in Martinsburg; and had most recently attended The Living Room Church at Martinsburg. She loved spending time her family and friends as well as texting, taking photos, shopping and taking care of others. A sweet, loving and giving person, Taitlyn wanted to change the world for the better so much so that in her passing, she donated her organs to help save the lives of others.
