Family, friends, and the wider community are coming together to celebrate the life of Ariana Ehrenthal, a beloved young soul whose memory continues to inspire love, unity, and compassion. As loved ones prepare to say their final goodbyes, they are also working to ensure that Ariana’s legacy lives on in meaningful ways.
Ariana, affectionately called “our queen,” touched many lives with her kindness and empathy. In tribute to her vibrant spirit, attendees of her services are encouraged to wear pink—a color that symbolizes her warmth, strength, and the joy she brought to those around her.
Visitation services will be held on Tuesday, March 24th, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Babione Funeral Home. A funeral service will follow on Wednesday, March 25th at 11 a.m. at Saint Joan of Arc Catholic Church. Ariana will then be laid to rest at Eternal Light Memorial Gardens, with a gathering afterward at Terra Fiamma in Delray Beach.
In addition to honoring her memory through services, Ariana’s family is also working to continue her compassionate vision through the creation of “Sweet Journey 17,” a foundation inspired by her desire to support families facing financial hardship during medical challenges. Ariana’s experiences opened her heart to others in need, especially those struggling with the cost of care, meals, and travel while supporting loved ones in the hospital.
To further celebrate her life, loved ones are invited to share photos and videos through a QR code that will be displayed during her visitation. These memories will help tell the story of Ariana’s life and the impact she made on so many.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for support in launching Ariana’s foundation through a GoFundMe initiative. Through this effort, her legacy of kindness and generosity will continue to uplift others.
Though her life was far too short, Ariana Ehrenthal’s spirit will live on in every act of love inspired by her memory.
