Ayva Elizabeth Widner, age 2, was born August 9, 2021 to William and Katherine Widner. She left us to be in the arms of Jesus. To know her is to love her. Anyone who passed through her life loved her to pieces. Ayva enjoyed giving people the “stank” face though, when she didn’t like something. She loved food but biscuits and raspberries were her favorite! Her nickname was “Phat Phat”. She enjoyed playing with her sisters and snuggling her mommy and daddy. She was the happiest, sweetest soul with lots of attitude. She was such a strong girl with everything that was thrown her way in the short amount of time we had with her. She was loved by so many and will be forever missed by those left here to enjoy her memories. She passed peacefully and surrounded by love.
Ayva is survived by not only her loving parents, but her loving big sisters, Sierra, Olivia and Alayna Widner; grandparents, Roger and Angie Sharp, and Darlene Vickers; a host of aunts uncles , cousins and her “other mom” Melissa Brown and family who loved her like their own.
She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Paul Vickers.
We love you, Sweet Potato.
