Aria Grace Stroud passed away at home, in her sleep on May 23, 2021 at the age of 5.
From the day Aria was born she touched the lives of so many. She was joy personified and the definition of unconditional love. Aria brought a smile to the faces of everyone she met through her singing, dancing, laughter and contagious smile. Although Aria faced many difficulties throughout her life, she continually proved everyone wrong by never giving up and showing us what a true fighter is. Aria's life will continue to radiate through others as she taught us that no matter what our challenges may be to celebrate life everyday.
By being an organ donor, Aria will save the lives of other children who have struggled just like herself. Our beloved, shining, happy girl, leaves us smiling through our tears.
"I will walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
