Amaya, of Germantown, was remembered as a caring and devoted daughter, parent, and fiancée. She is survived by her mother Lucy; her two young sons, Jeremiah, 6, and Adrian, 5; her fiancé Sean; and her grandmother Ana Maria, along with her father, uncles, and cousins, according to a GoFundMe launched for her family.
“Karina was a loving and kind soul who touched the lives of everyone she met,” her family said.
Loved ones are asking for the community's help to cover funeral expenses and provide Amaya with a dignified burial.
“Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us during this difficult time,” the family said in a heartfelt plea on the campaign.
