Ava Marie O’Donnell One of the world’s brightest little lights went out early when Ava Marie O’Donnell passed away on October 19, 2023. Born on March 14, 2023, to Nick O’Donnell and Malia Reisinger, Ava gave her parents, brothers and sister, grandparents, and many family and friends 7 months of joy. Ava was a happy baby, with a heart as beautiful as the big blue eyes she shared with the world each day. She loved to smile, be held by her dad and mom, go with her mom to the family farm, crawl, and play with her siblings. Ava is survived by her parents; brothers, Steven, Roman, and Paxton; and sister, Harlie; grandparents, Bernie and Lois O’Donnell and Jim and Jean Reisinger; aunt, Mandi O’Donnell and her partner Bob Grabow; uncle, Brian Reisinger and aunt Rachael Reisinger, and many other family and friends. A memorial gathering will be held on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Richardson-Stafford Funeral Home from 5 to 7 p.m. Her parents want to thank the community for the abundance of condolences, love and support they’ve received for their little angel. Those wishing to honor Ava’s memory can make a donation to Babies Gone Too Soon at babiesgonetoosoon.org.
