She was preceded in death by her Mamaw Ducky and Mamaw Faber.

The legacy of family continued with her aunts, Leslie Maye-Smallwood, Maddy Piatt, Kaylei Walters, and Daphne McQuade, who delighted in being part of her journey, while her uncles, Joshua Hoffman, Christopher Wilson, Dakota Smallwood, and Cody Grove brought laughter and strength into her days. She leaves behind numerous cousins who admired her innocence and brought levity into her short time with us.

Though Leilani’s life was but a whisper in the grand tapestry of existence, the love she inspired will echo in the hearts of those she touched. Each moment with her is a reminder of the love that binds families and the beauty found within. In her wake, she leaves a family united in their sorrow, yet grateful for the balm of shared memories and the indelible marks she left on their hearts.

As they walk through this challenging time, they hold on to the warmth of her spirit, knowing that she is forever woven into the fabric of their lives.
