Piper Raeanne Purcell (aka: Easy & Monkey), 19, of Fowler, was freed from her wheelchair, her Cerebral Palsy & her pain; as she was called home to Jesus, on November 2, 2025. She was welcomed into Heaven with open arms to play with her Brother, Zachary Purcell & her Cousin, Ayla Ratliff; under the direct supervision of her Grandparents, Rae & Joseph Purcell, Sr. & Jerry Smith. She was born, March 15, 2006, in Oxnard, California to Joe & Elana (Smith) Purcell. Piper entered this world ready to fight & prove doctors wrong.
