Santymire was about to enter her senior year of high school at South County High School in Lorton, according to her obituary.
When she wasn’t working as a Forever 21 as a brand ambassador, Santymire was pursuing her new passion for cooking or playing with her many animals, the obituary said.
Her cousin, who was someone Santymire closely confided in as a friend, started a GoFundMe page to help the family properly memorialize Victoria.
The page has already raised $10,987 of their $15,000 goal.
Her family is also asking for other memorial donations to be given to Rikki's Refuge Animal Sanctuary in Victoria’s name. This shelter is a safe haven for abandoned and mistreated animals, something that Victoria really believed in.
Victoria is survived by her parents, step-parents, siblings, and extended family.
