Brinley Nykele Woodward, 12, passed away peacefully, February 10, 2016, surrounded by her family. Brinley was born to Ryan and Kari Woodward on November 19, 2003. She is survived by her parents; younger siblings, Parker, Garrett and Makena; grandparents, Albert and Renee Woodward of Salt Lake City, UT and Ron and Susan Leavitt of Henderson, NV; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who love and adore her. Brinley was an honor student, dancer, played piano, sang, avid reader, baked the best sweet breads and cookies, and was very creative with a great sense for interior design and fashion. Brinley's motto was "Be Happy" and that was evident in the way she lived. She was an extraordinary young woman who touched the lives of everyone who knew her and many more she never knew. She always gave her best and faced adversity with tremendous courage and grace. She had a very loving heart, was so thoughtful of others and loved to laugh. She lived a very happy life and has now been called home to the arms of her Heavenly Father. She will be missed by all who know and love her.
