Azuri was a loving young lady. Her personality was always positive, cheerful, caring, and happy. She always had a smile on her face! Her smile would light up a room or brighten the day. She loved arts and crafts and animals and aspired to be a veterinarian. She loved dinosaurs! She was creative and found immense pleasure in making things and being with her siblings and cousins; weather making slime to play with, chalk drawings on the sidewalk, 3D prints of Stich, for Chyann, hanging out with best friend and cousin Leslie, being with and “bugging” Eli, spending quiet time with Quentin or playing video games with Dillion, all completed her life and made her happy. Azuri and her cousin Leslie were best friends and inseparable, always wanting to do everything together.

Azuri attended Paramount Brookside School, as a student in the fourth grade. She was an excellent student making all As and Bs in all her studies. She worked hard to get good grades and didn’t mind doing the extra work when required. She loved her school and had so many friends and talked about them constantly.
