Ariel, a tender powerhouse with limitless creativity and a heart of gold. She gave every ounce of herself into everything she did – her photography career, her set designs, her doodles, her writing, making music and most of all, being an aunt and supporting others in the most tangible of ways. She excelled at it all.
Ariel passed away in her home on Friday, March 31. We still have no answers as to the cause of death and will update this GoFundMe as more information arrives.
We created this GoFundMe to help cover memorial costs as well as support her nephews, Nova and Niko, the most important people in her life. Everything she did was for them and to honor her we want to make sure they are taken care of. Any amount is helpful right now as we navigate the funeral costs and a support system for “the boyos”, as Ariel so affectionally referred to them. It’s hard to fully express the depth of love between the three of them.
Our community is indescribably heartbroken and is sending an abundant thank you to everyone that donates, shows up and sends love. Every day that we show up for each other keeps her energy and presence moving on.
