Avaryl Halley, born November 6, 1985, left us too soon at the age of 39 on October 30, 2025. She will forever be celebrated and cherished as a gift who came into our lives and made the world a better place.
Avaryl was an inspiration to all those fortunate enough to come into her orbit. She made living an art form, taking every opportunity to make life beautiful through her style, her décor, and the many creative arts she immersed herself in — including her handmade blankets, painting, cooking, playing music, and filmmaking.
Avaryl even found a way to make chemotherapy look glamorous, finding joy in hats and scarves and dancing with her mom to keep spirits high.
Film was a central part of Avaryl’s life, from the first movie club she set up in high school, through her degree in film and filmmaking, to her much-loved Movie Bitches channel, which she created with her best friend and collaborator, Andrew Galdi, bringing joy and connection to thousands of followers.
Avaryl also designed houses with her dad and built and rebuilt homes in Malibu — passion projects that fed her love of art, creativity, and family connection.
It brings comfort to all who loved her that Avaryl lived so fully, enjoying travel and adventures with friends throughout Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
Avaryl’s passion and authenticity are a testament to the boundless love she received from her adoring parents, Scott and Aricia Halley, and her sisters, Erin Garnero and Morgan DiVenere. Avaryl will live forever in the hearts of family and friends, and her darling nephews Luca, Grey, and Bailey, and niece Lexi will always be told stories of their Auntie Avaryl.
There will be a celebration of Avaryl’s life in Malibu on February 14th. For information, please email: celebratingav@gmail.com
