Lena Annette Sinigaglio, of 15 Moores Drive, Moores Acres, Bear, died in Christiana Hospital of injuries received when she was struck by a car.
State police said Miss Sinigaglio was standing in front of a disabled car on U.S. 40 near Appleby Road with three other people at about 7:30 a.m. Another vehicle approached, and the driver lost control on the ice-slick road. It struck the disabled car, which was pushed into the group.
Miss Sinigaglio was flown by state police helicopter to the hospital. She was the sixth person to die in traffic accidents in Delaware that year, compared with three for the same period the year before, state police said.
Miss Sinigaglio was a senior at William Penn High School. She had been a part-time cashier at the Texaco station at Delaware 273 and Airport Road and the Wawa Food Market at U.S. 40 and Becks Pond Road.
She was a graduate of Barbizon of Delaware.
Family members said Miss Sinigaglio was "a great lover of life," and her organs will be donated in the hope that her life will be perpetuated through others.
She is survived by her parents, Aldino J. and Mary K. Hayes Sinigaglio, with whom she lived; a brother, Eugene of Glasgow; a sister, Donna Rees of New Castle; a foster sister, Ruby Blackburn of Midvale; her maternal grandparents, Sam J. and Eva Lena Hayes of Nashville, Tenn.; and her fiance, Scott Walker of Collins Park.
Contributions can be made in Lena's memory to the Delaware Valley Transplant Program, Philadelphia.

Lena was a great friend. We had alot of laughs in Math class. I dont think i would have passed if it werent for her... She was a beautiful person.Cheryl Kelley (Frampton)
I remember meeting up with Lena in the bathroom between classes the week before she died. Asked to borrow my eye liner, chatted a few, went our separate ways for the day. Never realized that would be the last time I saw her. Was in complete shock when I went back to school to find out the horrible news. We both had graduated from Barbizon (in different classes) and you learn a lot more than about how to put on make up there. Like how to carry yourself in life.She was a very sweet person whom I remember never being mean to not one soul. Her untimely passing was a big wake up call for me that, we might be young, but we were not invincible and that yes, it can happen to you.
Namaste Lena...have not heard your name for a long time.
