Omega Chapter gained a new angel. It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved sister, Dayanara Nicole Urbina Ruiz. 💚
Dayanara was a bright light, a gentle soul, and someone whose kindness touched everyone around her. She was always there for those in need, offering support, hope, and compassion without hesitation. Her memory will forever remain a part of our sisterhood, and her impact will continue to live on through the lives she touched.
On behalf of Phi Lambda Rho Sorority, Inc., we extend our deepest condolences to Dayanara’s family, friends, and our UCLA Chapter. We are holding you close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
With the permission of Dayanara’s family, we are sharing the following message on their behalf:
“Hello, we’re the Urbina/Ruiz family gathering funds to give Dayanara Nicole Urbina Ruiz a final goodbye as she tragically passed away. She was a bright light and a gentle soul. Anything helps, and we’re so grateful for anything that can be donated. God bless all who keep Dayanara in their prayers. Thank you. And we’re unconditionally grateful for the collaboration of all those who donated for Dayanara, who was always there for anyone in need and ready to help, and in addition to giving those hope in the fact that all dreams may be reached.
Hi everyone — I just launched a fundraiser to give Dayanara Nicole Urbina Ruiz a final goodbye. She was a bright light and a gentle soul, and we’re gathering support to honor her memory.
