With hearts full of sorrow and compassion, we pause to remember the life of Nalleli Waldron, 39, whose life was tragically lost in a late-night crash at the intersection of 42nd Street and Andrews Highway. A moment that changed the lives of many has left a family, friends, and a community in deep mourning.
On the night of December 8, 2025, what began as an ordinary drive became a heartbreaking tragedy. For those who loved Nalleli, the pain of that loss is immeasurable. Yet, even in sorrow, her life deserves to be remembered for far more than the circumstances of her passing.
Nalleli was known to those close to her as a woman full of heart, strength, and quiet determination. She carried a warmth that made people feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether through friendship, family, or everyday kindness, she left behind memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Her passing has also drawn attention to the seriousness of roadway safety and the fragile nature of life. In the midst of grief, the community also lifts prayers for Frederick Rodriguez, who was critically injured and continues to fight for his life, and for Nathan Montoya, who survived with non-life-threatening injuries. All were forever changed by this single, devastating moment.
As loved ones gather in sorrow, they also gather in remembrance — sharing stories, holding onto laughter that once filled rooms, and finding comfort in the beautiful legacy that Nalleli leaves behind. Though she is gone too soon, her spirit lives on through the lives she touched.
We honor Nalleli Waldron not for how she left this world, but for how she lived in it — with love, grace, and a heart that mattered.
Rest in peace, Nalleli.
You are deeply loved.
You will never be forgotten.
