Though her time on earth was brief, Avenly Pena filled the lives of those who loved her with immeasurable joy, laughter, and love. In her eight precious months, she left fingerprints on countless hearts and created memories that her family will cherish forever.

Avenly's bright eyes, sweet smiles, and gentle spirit brought happiness wherever she was. She was deeply loved from the moment she entered this world and became the center of a family who treasured every cuddle, every giggle, and every milestone. While her family longs for more time with her, they find comfort in knowing that her life, though short, was filled with love beyond measure.

She leaves behind her devoted parents, Rylee Pena and Michael Pifer; her loving brothers, Keaton Pena and Malachi Shells; her uncles, Ocean Pena, Keldyn Pena, Kevin Pena, Chris Pena, Scott Cissell, Dante Pifer, Kenny Pifer, Cole Stacey, Slade Sain, and Gary Lawrence; her aunts, Sheila Sain, Kassie Neighbors, Joslyn Alexander, Chelsy Pifer, Christine Pifer, and Elizabeth Pifer; her grandparents, Jennifer Pena and Jason Sain and Crystal and Kenny Pifer; her great-grandparents, Roy Smith and Debbie and Jack Crawford; her cousins, Chandler Pena, Addie Pena, Kaylee Pena, Miles Turner, Bradley Sain, Roxanne Sain, Mickie Cissell, Gracie Lee, Melanie Pena, Jeremy Pena, Landyn Pena, Evelyn Neighbors, and Jentry Neighbors; along with many other family members who loved her dearly.

Avenly was welcomed into Heaven by her aunt, Kaylyn Pena; her great-grandparents, Sharon and Ray Pena; and Joanne and Herman Waters.

Although words cannot ease the sorrow of losing such a precious child, Avenly's family will forever hold her close in their hearts. Her beautiful life is a reminder that love is not measured by time, but by the lasting impact one soul can have on those around them. She will always be remembered, always be cherished, and always be deeply loved.
