Reagan Olivia Shiffler, of Spanish Fork, Utah, passed away on June 10, 2024, due to injuries sustained during an automobile/pedestrian accident on May 18, 2024. She was 13 years old.
Reagan was born on September 1, 2010, in Phoenix, Arizona to Juliet Marie and Bryce Albert Shiffler who were married in the Newport Beach California Temple in 2008. Her father was a NICU nurse and was able to assist with the delivery. Reagan was such a joy to her parents.
When Reagan was 19 months old, her father Bryce passed away unexpectedly. Reagan and her mother Juliet developed an unbreakable bond that helped them navigate their life together. As a child in Anthem, Arizona, Reagan was a comedian, songwriter, dancer, full of energy, and a friend to everyone she met. She was very creative and knew every recipe for making various types of slime. She studied Mandarin Chinese for 4 years in elementary school. On her 8th birthday, she was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and remained a faithful member throughout her life.
In 2020, Reagan and Juliet moved to Spanish Fork, Utah when Juliet married David Teasdale. Reagan instantly became a part of a large family unit with brothers, sisters, and nieces and nephews that she’d always wanted. The Spanish Fork community embraced Reagan and she had many friends at church, school, and in the neighborhood. She joined a competitive cheerleading team and enjoyed tumbling, dancing, and the sisterhood she felt with her teammates. Reagan flourished in Utah and graduated from middle school as a straight-A student. She had a passion for Asian cultures – KPOP, ramen, boba, seaweed, sticky rice, Hello Kitty, and K-dramas. She could recreate any KPOP dance after watching one YouTube video. She loved skincare, cosmetics, and fashion. Reagan loved performing and was recently in a school production of Peter Pan. She was a friend to all. One of her favorite things was to compliment a stranger at every opportunity. In her final act of service, she was able to donate her organs (including her heart, kidneys and liver) to give the gift of life to others in need.
In an undoubtedly sweet reunion, Reagan was welcomed into heaven by her father, Bryce. She is survived by her parents Juliet and David Teasdale, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Visitation (closed casket) will be on Friday, June 21, 2024, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Walker Funeral Home, 187 South Main, Spanish Fork, Utah. Funeral services will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse located at 1911 East 1850 South, Spanish Fork, Utah.
