Aja Chew Obituary

AJA ALEXANDRIA CHEW Aja Alexandria Chew came into this world on 3 September 1985, bringing great joy and love to her parents Timothy and Ginger Chew as well as to her grandparents, uncles, and aunts. After a short time, she was blessed with two brothers, Tyler Sebastian and Travis Malcolm, who loved and always looked up to their big 'Sissy'. All three children grew up in Oroville, and while her brothers went to Oroville High, Aja insisted on attending Las Plumas High, from where her mother graduated, as well as from where her father taught social studies and coached baseball. Though she loved her mother beyond words, she was, and forever will be, a 'daddy's girl'. She graduated in 2003. After high school, Aja attended Chico State for her freshman year, and then traveled east to attend Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, where she danced and earned a bachelor's degree in Communications in 2007. On February 15, 2014, Ethan Newman, who loved Aja dearly, made her his bride, making their home together in Tempe, Arizona. Her passing was a great tragedy for him and all of us. Aja loved life and she loved dancing! She brought joy, fun, and humor into the lives of all who knew her. She radiated love, and her love transformed us and made us so much better than we would have been without her. A "Gathering of Love for Aja" will take place on Saturday, February 6th at the Las Plumas gymnasium a place where Aja danced, cheered, and accompanied her father, mother, and brothers to myriad basketball games, dances, and school events. The celebration begins at 3:00 pm.

Mr.Chew and family, It saddens me to hear of the loss of your daughter. I recently lost my father and know the pain of grief of losing a loved one. Words fall utterly short when trying to remember those who have now left a void in life. My condolences to the family.

I'm very sorry Mr. & Mrs. Chew, Tyler and Travis.

I attended LP with Aja (c/o 2003). I moved to Orovillle half way thru my freshman year; Aja was warm and caring to me at a vunerable time in my adolescence. She was a wonderful leader who used her popularity to bring people together. Thank you so much for bringing such a beautiful young lady in to this world.

May you rest in peace sweet Aja.

Ginger and family- I was so sorry to hear this news and I send my love and deepest condolences to you. You are in my thoughts.

Aja is God's gift to us. Because of her and her mother, father, and brothers, we're better than we would have been otherwise.

Our Aja is with the Lord, and we're looking forward to seeing her again in God's own time when our tears will be wiped away and all things will be made new.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on such a great loss. May Aja's memories help you cope. As well as the words found in John 6:40.

My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. The sting of death brings grief that is difficult to bear, especially at such a young age. May prayers to the God of all comfort strengthen you. He promises, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I am healing you." (2 Kings 20:5)
