Born on March 21, 2010, in Watertown, Averi was the beloved youngest child of Jeff and Lindsay Reidburn.
Averi was set to begin her freshman year at Clark High School this fall. A bright light in every room she entered, Averi had a contagious laugh, a sharp sense of humor, and a heart full of kindness. She lived life loudly, joyfully, and unapologetically—always embracing the things and people she loved most.
She was a true girly girl who adored makeup, shopping, tanning, Starbucks, and getting her hair and nails done. She was a TikTok sensation in her own right and the ultimate music DJ—always blasting her favorite songs in her parents’ cars. Averi loved tubing, concerts, bonfires, and camping trips with her family. Her favorite place to be was cuddled up next to her mom with her blankie. She had a gift for making everyone feel seen, included, and loved. If Averi believed in something, there was no stopping her—she would even make PowerPoint presentations to convince her parents (which she always won).
Her memory will be cherished forever by her parents, Jeff and Lindsay Reidburn; her siblings, Justus (Kelly) Reidburn, Brooke Reidburn, and Emma Reidburn; her maternal grandparents, Cindy Finkbeiner and Jay Dee (Lesa Leamons) Finkbeiner; her maternal great-grandmother, Bev Finkbeiner; and her paternal grandparents, Lon (Teresa) Reidburn. She is also survived by her loving aunts and uncles: Brooke (Clay) Kistler and Jarvis (Alissa) Reidburn; and her cousins: Hannah, Hudson, and Hayse Steffen; Lincoln and Lydia Reidburn; and Tayt and Henley Kistler and many more relatives that loved and cherished her.
Averi was welcomed into Heaven by her paternal grandmother, Deb Reidburn; paternal great-grandparents Harold and Hazel Reidburn, and Lyman and Nadine Wookey; maternal great-grandparents Lester and Clara Finkbeiner, and Wesley and Lenora Robish; and her aunt and uncle, Joie Ann Reidburn-Steffen and Bob Steffen.
To honor Averi’s bright and vibrant spirit, her family kindly requests that those attending services wear something in pink or purple—her favorite colors.
She loved with her whole heart, made the world brighter for those around her, and will forever be remembered for the joy and laughter she brought into every life she touched.
