Although she was young, Eliahna was compassionate and nurturing and always put others before herself, her family said in her obituary. Her family jokingly called her “enfermerita,” the little nurse, because she made sure her grandparents took their medications and poured her grandfather a glass of cold water on hot days. Eliahna also had a competitive spirit. She was so determined to become a better softball player that her grandfather hung a ball outside the family home.
