Haley Ann Evans-Ringwood

Evans-Ringwood, Haley
18, of Phoenix passed away on April 21, 2015. Haley Ann Evans-Ringwood was born on November 21, 1996 in Oceanside, California to Rebecca Evans of Phoenix, AZ and Jared Ringwood of Menifee, CA. Haley was tragically taken from us on the evening of Tuesday, April 21st in a fatal traffic accident. She was instantly swept into the arms of her Lord and there rests in peace. Haley is survived by not only her parents but her sister, Zoey Ringwood; maternal grandparents, Jean-Marie and Jim Bellington of Tempe, AZ and David Evans of Phoenix, AZ; paternal grandparents Sally Ringwood of Sun City, CA and Paul Ringwood and Lynne Oxhorn of Carlsbad, CA; her great-grandmother, Doris Carpenter of Prescott, AZ; her aunts Daryl Ann O'Connell and Taylor Bellington of AZ and her uncle, Evan Oxhorn of Washington, DC; a gazillion great aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Haley attended Arcadia High School and had plans to attend Yavapai College in the Summer. She loved dance and was involved in many activities at Arcadia. Haley loved and lived life to the fullest. Her award-winning smile, huge blue eyes and a quirkiness that entertained us all from the time she was a little girl. It seems everyone she touched has memories of Haley and how loved she is and fun to be around. Always laughing and a truly genuine friend to all she met. Haley recently attended Country Thunder 2015 where she was in her element. She shared that she went by herself but had already made friends in the parking lot before she got to the entry gate. She has an infectious personality and she will be missed by all. Our family is grieving and missing our sweet baby girl. She's the kind of young lady that anyone would be proud to call daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend. We are holding tight to the following quote: "Grief never ends, but it changes. It's a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith, it is the price of love." A Celebration of Haley's Life will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2015 from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the historic Maple-Ash Neighborhood at 1104 S. Ash, Tempe, AZ. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in her honor to Children's Hospital, as some of you may remember "Haley's Joy", an annual donation that Haley started in lieu of birthday presents. We are thinking of you in Paradise, our Sunshine Princess, until we meet again....this is not goodbye, it's see you later, alligator!
