Alanna M. Notarianni, age 53 of Hebron, passed away Saturday, February 22, 2025, in Indianapolis. She was born on August 4, 1971, in Gary, Indiana to the late Marco and Grace Notarianni. As an infant, her parents were told that she would not live past the age of two. Despite her disabilities, Alanna and her parents were determined to beat the odds. With her parents' loving care, she was able to live a full and independent life. She had a strong-willed personality and never met a stranger. Her large spirit made up for her fragile body. In life, she was confined to a wheelchair. Now she is free from her wheelchair and can walk into the arms of her parents.

She is survived by the village of neighbors and friends who cared for her; special friends, Debbie and Dave Stutler, Kathy Lambert; bonus sisters, Brandie Cohen, Amanda Johnston, Misti Howell; fur babies, Smokey and Pumpkin.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marco and Grace Notarianni; and grandparents, Sam and Jennie Leto.

Visitation will be held Thursday, February 27, 2025, from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm at Rees Funeral Home, Hobart Chapel, 600 West Old Ridge Road. She will be laid to rest at Calumet Park Cemetery in a private ceremony. For more information, please call (219) 942-2109. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.reesfuneralhomes.com.
