Brenda Dawn Ayala

Brenda devoted her time to her passions: reading, adventure seeking, connecting with others, and being an incredible mother to her daughter, Evelyn. She rarely missed a Comic Con, had an extensive following of her book reviews on GoodReads, and enjoyed a celebrated stint of background acting across LA. She loved traveling the world and embracing the unknown, eating cheese and drinking beer wherever she went, and charting her own path through life with infectious energy. Brenda left her mark far and wide on the hearts of those who had the privilege of meeting her. She will be missed beyond measure.

Brenda was born in San Gabriel, CA to Linda Boyd and Miguel Ayala on June 25, 1991. She graduated from Saugus High School in 2009 after being voted “Most Likely to Know Everyone” and received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Chapman University. Brenda and her husband, Mitchail Encarnacion, married February 16, 2018 in Van Nuys, CA. Following opportunities with Princess Cruises and Central Casting, she worked as a federal officer for the Department of Homeland Security.

Brenda Encarnacion is survived by her daughter Evelyn Aurea Ayala Encarnacion, her husband Mitchail Encarnacion, her parents Miguel Ayala and Linda Boyd, and her siblings, Kristin Boyd, Monica Orozco, Anthony Bowen, and Angelina Ayala.

The Encarnacions and Ayalas wish to extend their sincerest thanks to all of the family, friends, and coworkers who donated their time and money to the services for Brenda Dawn Encarnacion. In lieu of flowers, Brenda’s family has requested any donations be made toward her daughter’s college fund (available through GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/8b30d842 ).
