RyleighAnne Lorenzen

RyleighAnne Hollis Lorenzen was born on November 20, 2005, and was unexpectedly called home to her Father in Heaven on Monday, November 28, 2022. She is survived by her loving parents, Steven and Wendy, and her brothers and sisters, Isaiah, Avannah, Michael, Madalene, Phoebe, Mabel and Roman, along with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Charles "Chuck" Lorenzen, and great-grandparents, Kenneth and Helen Willis, and Jack and Madalene Jernigan.

Ryleigh was a beautiful soul who left an indelible mark on every person she met. Whether you knew her well or only met her once, she loved you. She considered everyone her "best friend," every food was her "favorite," and her preferred clothing had to be "old lady style."

She had a passion for teaching ASL to anyone who wanted to learn and loved doing that each summer at G-Force Gymnastics summer camp. She loved art and reading, copying down Bible verses, poems, and songs. She enjoyed music and would use her FM system to blast it directly into her hearing aids.

Ryleigh was strong and resilient - meeting every difficult thing life handed her with her strength. She worked hard and wanted to be a good person; she accomplished that and then some. Her impact was positive. Her personality was big. Her smile was bright. Her spirit was strong. And her soul will shine forever in Paradise.
