She is also survived by many great aunts and uncles and second cousins that she adored. Ava was preceded in death by her great grandmother Jane Jones and her great grandfather B. Gale Fritz. Ava was born February 4, 2013 in Columbus, OH. She left footprints on the hearts of everyone she met, even strangers, she was always in a great mood and it was contagious. If that wasn't enough, she was blessed with porcelain skin, gorgeous red hair, hazel green eyes with eyelashes that never ended, rosy cheeks and a smile that would brighten the darkest day. She was a free spirit, she loved being outside and in the water. Her passion was music, she would start clapping as soon as the spongebob theme song would start playing and dance when she heard country or rock music. Ava had a laugh like no other and so much made her giggle, like stealing her daddy's sunglasses, watching Jeopardy, getting scared, and hearing race car engines. Above all, she was so deeply loved and will be greatly missed, a big piece of our hearts has left with her. Until we meet again Ms. Ava, we'll be loving you.
