Star was a senior at McCurdy High School, a member of the cheer squad and a softball player and had plans of attending UNM in the fall. Star was a kind, funny, and self- assured beautiful young woman inside and out. She was a social butterfly, loved music and dancing, painting, and being silly. Star loved her family and friends “to the moon and back” as she often told them. Most of all she loved to make people smile, and she was always able to. My Little LUV BUG will be dearly missed.
