Faith Le Yuan Oleckniche

Faith Le Yuan Oleckniche entered eternal rest with Jesus on March 15, 2025. Born on November 7, 2004, in Shao Guan City, Qu Jiang District in Guangdong, China, she embraced life with a warmth and joy that deeply touched those around her.

On April 9, 2006, Faith became the forever daughter of Kevin and Cynthia Oleckniche, forever completing their family. Known affectionately by her Chinese name, Yuan-Yuan, which translates to "Complete" or "Happy", she truly embodied these meanings. Faith was the beloved sister to Chad, Hope, and Grace, a wonderful aunt to Owen, and a cherished granddaughter to Charlotte Minnelli, the late Marion Minnelli, and the late Kathie Sanders. Her love extended to countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and even her faithful dog, Bella, all of whom will carry her memory in their hearts.

Yuan-Yuan possessed a beautiful soul that shone brightly through her deep care for family and friends. She was a 2023 graduate of Mason High School, and she graduated with a 4.0. Her natural ability to problem solve and her hardworking spirit were remarkable, as she often treated those she loved to meals and thoughtful gifts. This past February, she orchestrated a special trip to Europe for her parents, insisting on covering the expenses—it was her heartfelt gift to them. The memories of their unforgettable adventures together will always remain cherished.

Adventurous at heart, Yuan-Yuan loved exploring the great outdoors, delighting in hiking, camping, kayaking, and, more recently, snowboarding. With a strong dedication to her health, she regularly attended the gym, bringing discipline and commitment to her work at CPM where she was a valued employee.

With an eclectic taste in music, she enjoyed sharing her favorite songs with family, and her caring nature extended to being a loyal friend, always ready to lend an ear to those in need. Whether it was taking her nephew Owen on fun trips to Target or stopping to pet dogs she met along the way, her love for animals and her family was evident.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at St. Susanna Catholic Church (616 Reading Road, Mason, OH 45040), beginning at 10:00 AM, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM. Burial will take place at Gate of Heaven Cemetery with lunch afterward at St. Susanna.

As we remember Faith Le Yuan Oleckniche, let us celebrate the joy she brought into our lives and the love she shared so freely. She will be deeply missed but forever remain in our hearts.
