Camryn Renea Hitt's Obituary
Camryn Renea Hitt, 20 month old daughter of Britton and Crystal Lanham Hitt, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 24, 2013 at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Camryn was born February 2, 2012 with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. She endured 2 open heart surgeries, multiple procedures and many hospital stays. In light of all the battles she had to fight, Camryn remained one of the strongest and happiest little girls you could ever meet. Her strong will to live and fight to overcome all that was given to her in her short life will always be an inspiration to so many. Her beautiful blue eyes, her curly hair, her sassy attitude and overwhelming personality made it hard not to fall in love with her and is what we all will miss so much. Our little ladybug will forever remain in our hearts.
