Caitlyn Naffziger Memorial Fund

Caitlyn Raye Naffziger passed away on February 29, 2024. She was the victim of a violent crime. Caitlyn was 31 years old and a loving mother to two young girls. Our family is completely devastated and shocked by this tragic loss.

Caitlyn was small but mighty, quiet but fierce and as brave as they come. She loved and accepted everyone as they were. Caitlyn was a lover of all things whimsical, enchanted, and magical. She enjoyed fantasy books and films, and ever longed for adventure.

Caitlyn had many nicknames--Chi and Goose to name a couple. Her loved ones would like her to be remembered by her spirit. The spirit of Chi is “a whimsical wanderer,” “along for the ride,” “up for the adventure,” “take what’s given to you and make the best of it,” and “a multi-talented powerhouse.” The spirit of Chi is joy and lives on in her two beautiful girls.

Caitlyn leaves behind daughters Elowyn (4) and Vaelyn (1). Elowyn shares an obsession of fairies and princesses with her mom, and Vaelyn shares her mom’s easy-going nature. They are her greatest accomplishment and brought her so much joy.

Caitlyn’s memorial fund will be used for resources for the family.
