She is survived by her mother, Deborah Siebenhausen-Kiley (Pecan Gap); two sisters, Diesa Rupert (Dallas) and Rama Tomasik (White Settlement); one brother, Condy Hammer (Saginaw); lots of nieces and nephews; and two handsome sons who carry on her beautiful spirit and that amazing smile, Kaden Vega, 12, and Ethan Santiago, 9, both of Miami, Fla.

The family would like to extend an open invitation to friends and family and all those who knew Mia to join them for this informal celebration of her life and memory.
