Willow was a sweet and fierce young lady who packed a big punch into her thirteen years. She loved her family deeply, treasured her friendships, and brought plenty of personality and determination to the things she loved. Athletics were a big part of Willow’s life. She began playing softball through Edinburgh Parks and Recreation when she was just six years old, and the game quickly became one of her passions. Over the years, she played two seasons with Indiana Xtreme and Edinburgh Chaos. She played softball for Edinburgh Middle School, and most recently with Lady Griz. Willow was also a cheerleader for seven years and played basketball for Edinburgh Middle School and became a member of Indiana Hustl Amburgey softball team. Away from the ball field and gym, Willow loved being outdoors and having adventures. She enjoyed swimming and boating, horseback riding, being at the lake with her brothers Michael and Chase, cousins Ella and Dani, and taking Jeep trail rides with her grandpa. She was always ready for a little excitement and was never afraid of a theme park thrill ride. She especially loved spending time with her dog Bella. Willow’s thirteen years were far too brief, but they were filled with family, friendships, ball games, adventures, laughter, and many memories that will remain precious to those who knew and loved her. Her loss is also grieved by the church family at Christ Fellowship Church. Pastor Paul A. Burton will officiate Willow’s funeral service at 7:00 p.m. Friday, July 31, 2026, in the gymnasium of the Edinburgh Community High School. Family and friends may visit from 4:00 p.m. until the time of service at the high school. A committal service and burial will take place at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, August 1, 2026, at Rest Haven Cemetery, Edinburgh. Arrangements have been entrusted to Community Funeral Care, Edinburgh.
