Ariana Gonzalez Leon

Ariana Gonzalez Leon 30, was 1 of 5 children born in Fresno, CA on March 12, 1985 to Juan & Maria Gonzalez. Being from a large family, gave her the opportunity to inherit many qualities. The greatest qualities that she had was she was kind to everyone, had an amazing sense of humor, and most important she had the biggest heart that anyone who knew her could imagine.

She was a great daughter, an amazing sister and a wonderful mom and last but not least, an incredible wife. Ariana loved her family and lived for us. Her son; Yoel and husband; Joel were her number one priorities in life. Making everyone happy was what she liked to do. Ariana was such a great person all around, she would make life friends with everyone she met. She loved to travel, if it were by plane, or car, she just loved being on the road. Her laugh was one you could not miss, her smile would light up an entire room. She had this natural beauty that with makeup she looked even more beautiful! She made sure everyone of her siblings were heard when we had discussions to address. She was our first best friend, and we will miss her. We love her and we’ll make her proud of everything we do in life.

Ariana graduated from Coalinga High School in 2003 where she had lived while growing up. She had the prettiest smile but her dimples were her trade mark. She loved to find a great bargain anywhere, but especially shopping online. She was very honest, you could trust her with your life. She loved anything pink, since it was her favorite color but she also enjoyed eating pizza and listening to music, these were only a few of her passions in life. Her truest passion was being a mom to Yoel.

Arianna was such a caring person. She was an amazing person, an amazing mother but most of all an amazing Sister. She was the type of person that cared for every individual. She was not a selfish person. She would put others first before herself. She loved everything about everyone. It didn’t matter if they had flaws, she would see past that. Ariana always wanted people to get along. She did not like when people had grudges, especially family. Family to her was the biggest thing for her. She wanted everyone to be happy. She always carried a big smile, she had this amazing laugh that everyone could remember. It was such a laugh that you could hear it from every room in the house. Ariana cared a lot for her nieces and nephews. All her nieces and nephews loved her so very much. She had lots of friends and they will miss her dearly. Every individual person has a special moment with her. Everybody that Ariana met will always have a part of her. She touched so many people and they will forever have her in their hearts. Every family member will miss her. She will forever be in our hearts…

As a child she was always laughing and trying to follow her older brothers around. At times the play would get too rough for her, she would get hurt but that never stopped her from getting up and trying again. She was always a cheerful, helpful person. Once she graduated from Coalinga High she started working at Harris Ranch as a hostess in the Steakhouse. It was a perfect position for someone with a great smile like hers.

Ariana had a voice like no other. Anytime she would talk it, it would sound like she was yelling, but always in a funny way. She was always telling us we needed to get together and stay in touch. On one of her many trips out to Mexico she met her husband Joel moved to Tennessee and then later had one son; Yoel. After the birth of her son she was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. During the whole ordeal she was positive and proved to be a fighter. Her and her family soon moved to Mexico. Ariana always made time to come and visit the family and reminded us all how important it was to make the time to get together. At the end of May, Ariana was diagnosed with Leukemia. Alongside her were her son and mother who flew back to Tennessee. While battling Leukemia she assured everyone she would fight again. She always stayed in contact with us all until she became too weak. Shortly after her being admitted her father and older brothers flew out to be by her side. On June 11, 2015 at 4:03 a.m. Jesus called for her to be by His side.

Ariana will always be cherished by her loving parents; Juan & Maria Gonzalez of Coalinga, CA, her beloved husband; Joel Leon Jacobo of Mexico and her precious son; Yoel Leon of Coalinga, CA. Her spirit will remain with her siblings; Alejandro & his wife Melanie Gonzalez, Cesar & his wife Patricia Gonzalez, Carmelita & her husband Noel Juarez and Sergio Gonzalez.
