Ayana was born February 17, 2001 in Davenport to Jervina Culbreath and Christopher Bryson.  Ayana was an A B student at Mid City High School.  She worked diligently to keep her grades up and even took extra classes preparing for her sophomore year, with intentions on graduating early with her older cousins.

Ayana’s bright eyes and beautiful smile were a joy to everyone.  Ayana enjoyed listening to music and playing volleyball.  She loved food and being with family and close friends.  Ayana was always a listening ear and help for whom ever needed her.  Ayana had very unique personality.  She was brave with words, yet very humble.  Always a pleasure to be around.
