Late last week, her number 14 was retired by the league to honor her memory and enthusiasm for the sport. Alivia attended the Heartland Church in Winamac. Her favorite colors were purple and teal. She enjoyed dining experiences usually at home and sometimes eating out. Chili, meatloaf, and donuts were some of her favorite foods. She loved all babies, kittens, puppies and traveling. Alivia enjoyed the creativity of taking selfies, then sharing her images on snap chat. She had a fondness for emojis especially poop and donut emojis.
Confident and proud of her beauty inside and outside, Alivia was known as her Dad’s Little Rapunzel for her beautiful auburn-brown hair with summer highlights that stylishly flowed beyond her shoulders.
