Aaliyah “ Wiyahkins” Renee,

She was born in Phoenix, AZ and raised by her proud parents Antonia and Eddie. She has 7 siblings, who all loved her and were so proud of her.

Aaliyah was and always will be AMAZING. She was so special and full of life. To her beautiful smile and contagious laugh, her giggles to sarcasm.

She’s incredibly smart, funny, witty.

She loved her 49ers during football season and was something she shared with her friends and family.

She selfless, caring and always wanting to do for others.

She had so much love to give, and so many who loved her back.

She was brave and adventurous, and never afraid to take leaps to move ahead. An amazing, incredible artist and had so much passion for things she loved and what she believed in.

A prior NAU student, and a graduate of Glendale Community College, where she completed her CNA program and was ready to start her new path in the ER. Her goal in life was to help others, even just for a second. Making someone smile made her smile.

She is and was one of the most beautiful souls in this world. She was an Angel.

There is not a moment that goes by, that she is not loved and will forever always be remembered.

She loved, prayed and always had faith. She never gave up. Worked hard.

We are so proud of her every single day and her memory will continue to grow and we will share her laughter and smile. She will continue to live through others as we share her beautiful memories, forever!
