Beloved daughter of Zak and Kristen, passed away peacefully at home on September 10th, surrounded by the warmth and love of both her parents. Born into a world that cherished her every breath, Ayla’s life, though far too brief, touched the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Ayla had a unique bond with her big brother, Jett. In moments when she heard his voice, the world seemed to pause and her spirit would calm to that familiar sound. Jett’s presence was a gentle reminder to Ayla that she was never alone.

Her sister, Lainey, was never far from her side, eager to explore Ayla’s sweet face with her little hands, finding her nose, eyes, mouth, and hair. Lainey’s gentle pats and affectionate hugs were daily expressions of the love they shared, forming a bond between sisters that will forever live in their hearts.

Ayla was a bright light in her family’s lives, a soul that radiated love in the quietest of ways. Through Ayla’s sweet spirit, her family has drawn nearer to the Savior. She became a beacon of faith and a reminder of God’s love and miracles. Her life helped build and strengthen the testimonies of those around her, guiding them through this journey with assurance of eternal life and the promise of being together forever.

Though Ayla’s time here was short, her legacy of love and the joy she brought to her family will endure forever. She leaves behind a family who loved her beyond words: her devoted parents, Zak and Kristen, her adoring brother Jett, and her ever-caring sister Lainey.

Ayla Bell Nowell, though no longer with us in body, will forever be held in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her. Rest peacefully, sweet Ayla, surrounded by the love that will remain, forever and always.

In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted for medical and funeral expenses in memory of Ayla through Venmo @kristenjoyce
