To the Angel who gained her wings too soon, Victoria Melany Cruz was born on December 24, 2005 and tragically passed away on May 19, 2022. Victoria was only sixteen years old and an amazing teenager at Sunnyslope High School who loved hanging with friends and family, listening to music, and doing her makeup as a beautiful woman. Vicky was known for her genuine spirit and warm-hearted personality. The young intelligent, hard-working butterfly is survived by her two brothers; Alejandro Cruz Jr, Mateo Cruz, father; Victor Cruz, stepfather; Alejandro Cruz, grandmother; Blanca Martinez, and three aunts; Ofelia Martinez, Diana Herrera, and Anita Cruz. Victoria’s smile was known to have shined brighter than the midnight stars, but most of all Victoria is remembered for her bravery and courage to be the Hero everyone aspired to become. Vicky Cruz will forever remain in our hearts, and her memory will never be forgotten as she is the light we look for in the heavenly skies. Bless the soul of the young Victoria who will be in the heavens with her mother Reyna Murillo. Till we meet again, Victoria be the exquisite princess you have always been.
Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, May 25, 2022 from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix.

Victoria, my first friend, not only my first friend, but my own person fairy. The first thing i told v when i met her in 4th grade was “i like your boots”, and from there on out our adventure began. From 4th grade to 10th grade she has my fairy. V is the prettiest girl you could ever glance at. I could watch her for a lifetime. From her bright smile to her long hair, it was pure beauty. Inside and out was always pure beauty. She always made me think I was so funny, when she laughed at everything I said. I loved how comfortable you made me feel, you felt like home. V taught me a lot of things in life, and one of those things were to always keep my head up no matter what comes my way, but I’m not sure if I can do that now. V I’m not able to feel your presence anymore, and that tears my hearts. I wish i had the time with you I desired, I will cherish every memory we have together, forever my fairy.
Reyna, Victoria’s mom, but not only her mom but a second mom. R you were the sweetest, and the greatest mother. I watched you take care of v, and her 2 younger brothers. I saw you wake up everyday, cook, clean, drive, and take care of each of your children. You even took care of me, and I wasn’t your child. Such another beautiful human being inside, and out. I remember when you welcomed me into your house for a week just to spend time with your lovely daughter. I remember when you helped my family when we were at a low point, opened the door for me everyday at 5 in the morning, and fed me. I remember when you would wait for me to get picked up every time my mom was running late. You cared in a way no other friends parent would, and that’s something I will hold in my heart forever. Victoria and Reyna have made my life worth living.
V and R, in my hearts forever and always

I can remember Victoria with her coloring books & drawing pictures when her mom would bring her into our office when she was very young. May the Lord and Our Lady give you comfort and rest.
