With broken hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved Isabella “Bella” Starr Vigil. Born in Santa Maria on May 11, 2010 to parents Herman Jakey Vigil Jr. and Angelina Marie Buelna. On June 7, 2026 at just 16, she was unexpectedly taken from us. Her presence was a gift to everyone that knew her, she was so full of life. From the moment she entered this world Bella and her father had a bond like no other. She brought a special kind of love that only she could bring, she was his little girl. Bella enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her Grandma Sonia and Grandpa Herman, who held a special place in her heart. Although Bella was blessed with a wide circle of friends and family her deepest bond was with her brother Nathan. They shared a relationship that can only be described as inseparable.
Bella is survived by her father, Herman Jakey Vigil, Jr. (Mona), her mother, Angelina Marie Buelna; her siblings Brianna, Alexia, Adrian, Daniel, Nathan, Isaac, Jaylah, and Niko, grandparents Herman and Sonia and countless aunts, uncles and cousins. She is proceeded in death by her grandma Yolanda Marrufo. Bella was deeply loved and will be missed. While she may no longer walk beside us, she will forever remain a part of us. Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever sixteen.
