Malaya Berania
2012 – 2022
Lake Forest, CA

Malaya, also known as Maja to some, was 10 years old and a student at Foothill Ranch Elementary School. She had a big and bright personality, just like the sun. She lit up every room and made people feel happy just by being around her. She always stood up for the people she loved and cared so deeply about her family and friends.

She loved hanging out with her friends, especially going on play dates to the park after school or swimming at the pool. She was always laughing, smiling, and having fun.

She also loved spending time with her family. She liked making videos and playing with her sister Niana, doing TikToks with her Manang Leila, going on hikes with her mom, and going to conventions with her dad. Those were some of her favorite memories.

Malaya really loved the Pink Power Ranger, making TikToks, recording videos on her iPad, playing Roblox and dancing. She was always dancing, whether it was to music or just for fun. She was full of creativity, joy, and light. Her sunshine still stays with us in everything we do.
