Kyla Yvonne Rapp
May 10, 2000 — May 10, 2023
Kyla Yvonne Rapp, 23, went home to be with the Lord on May 10, 2023 peacefully in her mother's arms, holding her brother's hand and surrounded by her family.
Kyla was preceded in death by her great-grandparents, Virginia & Ked Pack and Marjorie & Joseph Rapp.
Surviving family includes parents, Kelle & Chris Tarby, brother, Cory, sisters, Brittany, Samantha, aunt, Kim (Matt) Crabtree, cousin, Madison Crabtree, grandfather, Paul Rapp, grandparents, Glenna & William Bigelow, Karen & Mark Heisa and special family friends Anita Berry, Terra Byrd, Abbey Williams
Kyla was loved by many for her infectious laugh and smile, especially when she felt ornery and would laugh when her mom or brother got hurt. Her big brown eyes could light up a room and she would always get compliments about her hair and outfits. Kyla adored her family and loved spending time with them. Her aunt Kimmie always made her smile and giggle. She enjoyed the outdoors just like her grandpa, especially going on hikes. She loved listening to the birds and watching the butterflies. Some of her favorite times were traveling with her family to the beach, holiday gatherings, and swimming in the pool with her grandma and papa. Kyla's favorite drink was strawberry milk, her oatmeal, and loved her cotton candy. She loved to dance to her favorite music and have her brother Cory sing to her, especially the song Tonight, Tonight…by Hot Chelle Rae. She loved the color yellow, her pink bunny, and her favorite toy was her cat piano. Most importantly Kyla loved her hugs and snuggling with mom.
A gathering of family and friends will be held from 2:00 to 4:30pm, Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at Newcomer Funeral Home, NW Chapel, 10051 Brewster Lane, Powell, OH 43065, where a service will begin at 4:30pm
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Hospice and Palliative team of Nationwide Children's Hospital for their dedication and support, especially nurse Karla, therapist Brigid and Sammie, as well as chaplain Kayla. They would also like to thank Dr. Eileenn Maher and Olentangy Pediatrics, as well as the many doctors and nurses at Nationwide Children's Hospital who provided exceptional care for Kyla over the past 23 years.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to Nationwide Children's Hospital. Please direct donations to Hospice/Homecare.
