Ananissa Marie Parra

Ananissa Marie was born on May 3, 1989 to Linda and David Parra at San Antonio Hospital, Upland, CA. Ananissa lived in Chino, CA. She is survived by the love of her life, Daniel Navarette; daughters, Maleya, Romey and Aria; Her parents, David Parra of Alta Loma, CA; Linda and Gabriel Falcon of Las Vegas, NV; Her siblings; brother Michael Gallardo and sister Rose Lovelady; Her niece Marissa Lovelady, nephew Brent Lovelady, and a great-nephew Azriel.

Ananissa was the apple of her daddy’s eye. Daddy called her “Punk”, Mama called her “my love”, Papa Gabriel called her “daughter”, and Daniel called her “Queen”.

Ananissa was raised in Alta Loma, CA and attended Calvary Chapel Chino Valley as a little girl and teenager. She attended St. Mark’s Episcopal school in Upland, CA from Kindergarten to 6th grade. She was a Brownie at 7 & 8 years of age. At an early age, Ananissa displayed creative, artistic and entrepreneur skills. She started her own business painting white canvas and jean bags. Her Grandma Olivia and Papa Gabriel were her best customers. She played the flute and took guitar lessons. She was on the Rancho All Star Cheerleading team in Jr. High. She attended Vineyard Jr. High and graduated from Alta Loma High School in 2007. She didn’t like school much but passed with average grades. She did graduate and received her diploma. She was very proud to wear her cap and gown and walk with her class. After high school she had a few part time jobs but her dream was to be a hair stylist like her daddy. As a young girl, she was raised at her daddy’s hair salon in Upland called Strandz. Immediately after high school, she attended Marinello’s School of Beauty where she successfully graduated and passed the state board. She began working at Standz Salon at age 19 and quickly built her clientele. Within a year, she already had a huge client base and proudly had clients that have been with her for 10 years. She was very successful and loved her work and clients. After daddy retired in 2019, Ananissa took over the salon and eventually owned Strandz Salon. Over the last year, she encountered many challenges with her health eventually cutting back her hours at the salon.

Ananissa was the mother of two beautiful daughters, Maleya (12) and Romey (7). They are her greatest blessing from God. She gained a 3rd daughter, Aria (6) when she met Daniel. She loved Aria as her own.

The loss of our beloved Ananissa has hit our family, her friends and clients hard. Ananissa was a “confidant and therapist” to her clients. She was not only their hairstylist on a business side but became a friend to many on a personal side. Ananissa was very compassionate, charismatic and left a lasting impression on everyone she met. You don’t forget her as she was beautiful on the outside and inside.
