Janina Marie Valenzuela
July 6, 2005 ~ April 8, 2020
Marietta Southern Cremations & Funerals
Janina Marie Valenzuela, age 14, was taken from us too soon on Thursday, April 8, 2020 in Marietta, GA.
Janina entered this world on July 6, 2005 in Marietta, GA to Maria Luisa Clayton and Juan Francisco Valenzuela.
She was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a bright light who touched everyone’s life, and a stranger to no one. She was a devoted member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. She took pride in following in her brother’s footsteps by being part of the AFJROTC at Marietta HIgh School. As an animal lover, she had hopes and aspirations to be a Veterinarian. Janina will be fondly remembered by family and friends for her smile and goofiness. A friend to all- she was brave, courageous, and always stood up for what was right.
Janina is survived by her parents, Juan Franscisco and Maria Luisa; older brothers, Justin Nathaniel, Justin Richard, and Christian; older sisters, Genifer and Romarie and her cherished cat Sleepy. Further survived by nieces, nephews, and many devoted friends.
We had the privilege of knowing Nina only for a short time, but she made a huge impact in this world and we will forever miss her.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Janina’s favorite charity, St. Jude. Condolences may be made by visiting

My thoughts & prayers are with Janina’s family.
Love you Janina and Christian and Maria
We are so sorry for your loss.
Janina was so beautiful and such a sweetheart. Loved giving her hugs and she always responded with a smile and sweetness. Lots of potential in this young woman. Again – we see that Easter comes right after a tragedy, and all will be absolutely well again. We will think of you often, and have faith that we will see you again.
We had a lot of memories together because we had been friends for a long time, but I’ll never forget the time that I was sad about something and you were there to cheer me up. You even went with me to church just to make me happy. She was such a great person who loved helping people I’ll never forget that day! LLJ💕🕊
We are so sorry for your loss. Our family continues to pray for and think about you all. We remember Jenina from primary. Such a sweetheart with life taken far too soon. Sending our love.

I was never a super close friend of Janina’s but the interactions I did have with her were amazing and uplifting.. I’m sorry that this happened. My hearts absolutely shattered and I can’t look at this page without getting teary eyed or crying. My mother donated 50 dollars to your Gofundme. I hope your hearts heal easy.
I didn’t know her personally but I definitely feel for the family. Sorry for your loss she left the world way too soon! I pray that the family finds peace throughout this time!

With loving memories of “Janina Valenzuela”, I knew Janina when she was a little girl attending West Side School. You will always be in our hearts.
“Janina Valenzuela” brought so many gifts to our life. We will never forget her! I miss you everyday baby sister. Mahal kita. Love is forever.
I haven’t spoken too much about Janina since her death to anyone but there is not a day were I don’t think about her and miss her she was the greatest best friend I could have asked for and I will forever miss her till my very last breath there are so many memories I can think of that we shared and how we were just kids and got to spend the time she had with me together and happily. i will forever love her and tell stories we shared together when i grow old and have kids.
Nina has been on my mind heavily as of lately to the point I stopped by her grave just to talk and see her and for her to know that we still think about her. Everyday I think about her beautiful smile, her goofiness, and her surprising ability to kick a ball lol. We met when I was in 5th grade and I am now a senior getting ready to graduate in the class of 2025.I rmb when we used to play in the construction area near my house in Marietta and a ladder fell on her head leading her to have to get staples, but she didn’t cry or anything…that’s just how strong she was. I love to think about the times she would come over to my house where all the kids in the neighborhood would come because of how big our yard was and it was the best year of my life. Extremely saddening to have lost such a beautiful soul like my Nina’s. I will love you forever ❤️ LLNINA4L♥️
