Ayrris Webster

Ayrris was born in Columbus, Ohio on January 13, 1987 to the union of Harrison Webster and Macy Jennings. She graduated in 2005 from Walnut Ridge High School and attended Wilberforce University for a few years. She grew up as an active member of Eliezer Church of Christ where she served on the usher board and in the choir. On March 20, 2015, Ayrris married Anthony Mkumbae whom she loved very much. She worked at Chase bank and did several jobs. Ayrris was a very friendly and caring person with a beautiful smile. Even as a child she would say “Hi”, to everyone she saw. Her heart was so big that she would do without just to help someone in need. Her favorite things were shopping, music, cleaning, and cooking. She also enjoyed making others happy, spending time with her God-children, playing board games with family and friends, joking, and laughing. She loved coming to her mom’s rescue by helping her get to another level in the game Panda Pop. On September 2, 2021, Ayrris was called home to be with Lord.
