It is with heavy hearts and deep love that we share the passing of our dear grandmother, the heart and soul of the Ayala family. Her legacy 6 children, 16 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren and 5 great great granchildren, what a blessing.

She was a woman of deep faith, whose love for God shaped everything she did. Though she could be firm and didn’t sugarcoat her words, her strength came from a place of care, and her devotion to Jesus was fierce and unwavering. She didn’t just talk about faith—she lived it, every single day.

Grandma loved to sing hymns. Her voice—strong, steady, and full of soul—filled our homes and hearts. Whether she was standing at the kitchen sink or resting in her favorite chair, her songs were always there, reminding us of God’s grace and her steadfast hope.

She didn’t just lead our family—she held it together. With wisdom, prayer, and a whole lot of love (sometimes tough love), she guided us through every season. She taught us right from wrong, the value of hard work, and how to care for others, often in the smallest, most meaningful ways.

We’re heartbroken she’s gone, but so grateful for the life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind. We know she’s now resting in peace, held in the arms of the Savior she loved so dearly. Love you Ama.
