Anya J. Schenk, 25, of Bensalem, PA, passed away on Saturday, September 5, 2020, of an overdose after a long battle with addiction. Born in Coatesville, she was the daughter of Christine Caripides of Bensalem, PA and Eric A. Schenk (Robin) of Atglen, PA.

Anya grew up in Cochranville, PA and was a 2012 graduate of the Octorara High School, Atglen, PA. Anya was always very determined and once she set her mind to something, she would make it happen; like graduating high school in 3 years at just 17 years old. Anya has had a lifelong love for animals and an affinity for the elderly. Her greatest love was her children. Anya enjoyed all genres of music and was looking forward to seeing Alicia Keys in concert. Anya had a big heart, she loved her family; she was loved by so many friends. She will be missed every day.

Rhoads both of Bishopville, MD twin brother Adam Schenk of Woonsocket, RI, maternal grandmother Jacqueline Suny of Coatesville, paternal grandmother Phyllis Schenk of Parkesburg, aunts, uncles and cousins.
