Farrell, who was employed by a local bagel shop, was remembered as an “angel.”

A GoFundMe campaign started by Farrell’s friends has raised $2,557 of the $10k goal in four days. In it, the friends reveal that they are starting a soccer scholarship in Farrell’s name and are asking for contributions to it.

“The loss of Eliza is a loss to everyone in our community. Lets never forget those that mean the most to us,” Farrell’s friends wrote there. “The ‘United Futbol Academy Eliza Farrell Memorial Scholarship Fund’ has been established for those wishing to contribute to deserving families in need, and offering children the opportunity to pursue their dreams of playing soccer at United Futbol Academy, as Eliza did.”

“Please direct contributions to the ‘United Futbol Academy Eliza Farrell Memorial Scholarship Fund,'” they continued. “We can keep her memory alive while helping those around us to play the game she loved.”

Farrell was described by Principal Gary Davison as  “kind, well-liked [and] hard-working.” He said, “Her legacy will remain at Lambert [High School] as long as those who knew her. We will all greatly miss her.”

Friends, teammates and others affected by Farrell’s sudden and tragic death have taken to social media to share their condolences and memories.
