Abigail was a bright spirit; a vibrant young woman whose kindness and creativity were as invigorating as her spunky personality.
A diligent student, Abigail embraced her education with determination, emerging from her home-schooling experience to proudly attend Navarro College as a Criminal Justice major. She met each academic challenge with tenacity, having fought through the struggles of early schooling to achieve the remarkable milestone of college life. Her journey was not just about personal success; it reflected her deep-seated commitment to justice and her loving faith as a devoted Christian.

She had a rare sensitivity that allowed her to be a good listener, making everyone feel important and valued in conversations, no matter how trivial.
A lover of small animals, particularly her beloved pet chicken, Abigail found joy in the simplest of pleasures—watching horror movies that thrilled her adventurous spirit, savoring spicy foods that ignited her senses, and embracing each day as a new opportunity. With a discerning eye for the world around her, she approached life as a fighter for justice, unwavering in her convictions.
