Mya LeAnn Cruz-Navarro was born October 27, 2016 at Avera St. Mary's Hospital in Pierre, SD to Bridget A. Harrison and the late Martine Cruz-Navarro Jr.

Our dearly beloved little Miss Mya made her journey on May 1, 2024 at the Mayo Hospital in Rochester, MN.

Mya began her education at Crow Creek Headstart in Fort Thompson, SD.  She loved her teacher, Inez Traversie, Daisy Merrit, Charity Merrit, Donny Robol, Donelle Thompson, and Tracy Hopkins.  Mya also attended Crow Creek Tribal Elementary School, Kindergarten and First Grade and loved her teachers Charlotte Bale, Jamie Marks, Christine Loreto, and Lucy Fallis.

Mya was an extraordinary little girl, so full of life.  She was very smart, energetic, strong, and above all, the most caring, loving sister, daughter, niece, and friend anyone could ever ask for.  Mya loved to dance and sing in front of the television along with her siblings.  Her favorite movies were Moana, Encanto, Barbie Movie, Trolls, Frozen, and Luca.  Mya, specifically loved "Trolls" Princess Poppy.  Mya made some tik tok videos on her own, without her mother knowing.

Mya lost her father just five months ago due to a similar condition.   She was her father's little princess.

Mya broke a lot of hearts, due to her untimely passing.  She will forever be greatly missed by all and will hold close in our hearts the many amazing memories.  Mya has made in her short seven years of life.

Mya, suddenly became very sick, causing a heart condition.  Sweet girl, as the nurses would call her, fought to the very end, with her mother at her side every step of the way.
