AVA HAUSER

PHELPS, Ky. — On Saturday, February 20, 2016, at 12:23 a.m. our darling Ava AnaLisa Beth Hauser was rewarded her angel wings and received the gift of eternal glory and life everlasting.

Ava was born April 5, 2009, in Winston-Salem, N.C., to her adoring parents Ginger Stanley and the late Anthony Hauser Jr.

Ava was loved and adored by many she was the jewel and heart of her mother, Ginger Stanley and Joseph Hickman. Her two sisters, Cameron and Marlowe, doted and loved their baby sister as did her entire family.

In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her grandmother, Beth Hauser, and grandfather, Tommy "Buddy" Stanley.

She is survived by her immediate family as well as her grandparents, Greg and Lisa Smith, and Aunt Miracle, as well as her aunts Lisa Stanley and Megan Smith and her wonderful cousins Bryson, Kieran, Ian, and Cash. She is also survived by a special group of family, Jeff and Melissa Watson, Brent and Amanda Sullivan, Nelly Brady and many other extended family.

Ava's life, though brief, was filled with meaning and purpose. She exemplified strength, furiousity, and courage. And though she be but little she is fierce. She endured and overcame massive obstacles and never lost her fight. Ava was stubborn, headstrong and extremely strong-willed. Her personality was too wonderful for this world. The most beautiful and precious soul you could ever be blessed to fall in love with, she greatly earned her rest, serenity, and peace she so richly deserved.

Her wings were ready but our hearts were not. Heaven became infinitely more beautiful the day she flew home. "I have fought a good fight, I finished my course, I have kept the faith."

Services honoring the life of Ava will be conducted Monday and Tuesday evenings of February 22-23, at the Church of God in Jesus Name of Phelps, Ky., with Pastors Richard McKinney and Curtis Franks officiating on Monday and Pastor Opie Harris officiating on Tuesday; both services will begin at 7 p.m.

No funeral service will be scheduled; the family has chosen to observe a private interment at a later date and time.

Arrangements are under the direction of Chambers Funeral Services Inc. of Matewan, W.Va.
