Aurelya Carranco

Aurelya Carranco, age 1, of Lansing, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. She was playful, full of energy, and always ready to make others smile—mimicking people, dancing to music, and finding fun in everyday moments like bath time, bed play, and being around the family pets. She was curious and intelligent, quickly learning words, numbers, and routines while carefully observing how others spoke and acted. She showed kindness, often giving hugs and kisses, offering comfort when others were sad, and enjoying simple bonding moments like high fives and fist bumps. She loved familiar comforts such as her favorite show Bluey, certain foods, and her bedtime routines. Her personality was expressive and thoughtful even at a very young age—sometimes shy, sometimes bold, but always attentive and eager to engage with the world around her. She loved helping, exploring, and being included in daily life. Overall, she is remembered as a loving, joyful child whose presence brought happiness everywhere she went and whose memory remains deeply cherished. She will be lovingly remembered by her mama and papa, Krystal and Roux Carranco; her sisters, Andreita Carranco, Desiree’ Carranco; her brother, Azariah Joseph Bindes; grandparents, Juanita Carranco, Howard and Sue Martin Bindes; loving uncles and aunts, Rudy and Theresa Carranco Jr., Rob Carranco, her uncle and godfather, Rodney and Kyla Carranco; Jacklyn Martin, Amanda Bindes; Douglas and Emily Alberta, Nikki Lynn Alberta; adopted grandparents, Maureen and Mike Tuttle; foster grandparents, Douglas and Ana Alberta; several loving cousins and extended family.  She was preceded in death by her grandpa, Rudy Carranco Sr. Funeral services will be held at 2 pm on Wednesday, May 6, 2026,  at  First Congregational Church, 106 Bostwick Street S, Charlotte, MI with Rev. Adam Droscha officiating.   Relatives and friends may meet the family Wednesday from 12-2 pm at  the church prior to the service. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to the family's Gofundme account.

She will forever be missed and forever cherished.
