Arielle Christine Chavez

Arielle was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. My mom delivered my sister at home with the help of my aunts. As a little girl Arielle was full of fire, very tiny and beautiful. Everyone in my family has a funny story about my sister as a little girl, she was so goofy ,always made everyone laugh and a little bit of a terror at times. Arielle was a very smart girl; she always made honor roll and principal's list. As a younger girl Arielle loved Lisa Frank and spice girls but would still play tackle football with the boys. She was also extremely feisty and a fighter. It didn’t matter how big you were, she would always stand her ground all 4’9 of her and you couldn’t mess with her family. She was a protector. Arielle got pregnant with her one and only son in her senior year of high school. She graduated the month before delivering her son and went on to get her certification in medical coding and billing from Apollo College. She was in labor with her son for only 4 hours and delivered a beautiful baby boy. Arielle loved her son so much he was her entire world. She worked long hours and rode the bus to and from work but always made time for her son and he always had a home cooked meal, cooking was my sister's love language. Arielles heart was so big, She loved everyone and not only wanted to see the good in you but she truly believed there was good in everyone. You could tell Arielle the most bizarre story and there would be not one bit of judgment. She was wild, loud and the life of the party always. If there was a party you could hear my sister from a mile away. Arielle didn’t care what you thought about her; she was fearless. She had a charisma about her, you could be in the worst mood and get around Arielle, she would instantly put you in a happy mood. She was so weird sometimes,and did the most random things like bark at people or make up songs. She was her own person and liked to change her hair color often but had signature bright red hair just like her favorite Ariel from the little mermaid. Arielle was the most loyal friend, if she considered you a friend you were family. She was loved by so many. Losing Arielle has been very hard for my entire family. I find comfort in knowing how lucky I am to have had the privilege to know Arielle because she truly was a gift. Long Live Arielle Christine Chavez.
