Arya had a summer to-do list on the wall of her bedroom when she died, according to her obituary. It included activities she wanted to do with her friends, such as visit Six Flags New England, makeup lessons, getting their nails done, crafts and creating dance videos.
Swimming and exploring the woods were among her favorite summer activities, according to her obituary. Her personality is described as 'vibrant and outgoing.'
'She was such a special little girl, everyone absolutely adored her. Her sassy and smart self is going to be greatly missed,' her obituary reads.

Arya's online tribute wall is filled with dozens of posts from her friends and family showing silly photos she took with her friends, pictures of her as a young girl, expressions of sorrow at her death and condolences for her parents. Many photos are of Arya swimming or exploring the outdoors, and one shows her at a much younger age excitedly holding a snake.
'I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be Arya's aunt for 8 years, getting to know her spunky, sassy personality. She was always such a ray of light and had me laughing,' Alex LeBeau wrote in her tribute post. 'Anywhere she saw me or her uncle Zach, she'd run up to us to say hi and give us a hug. Even down to her helping me get ready on my wedding day. 🩵 Her sweet soul will be seriously missed."
