“Fly high, little sister. Always and forever,” her brother, Mayk’ De Armas, said on social media.
Her death wasn’t just mourned by her family.
The current reigning Miss Uruguay, Carla Romero, also took to social media to pay tribute to the late beauty queen.
“Sherika de Armas was too evolved for this world. One of the most beautiful women I have ever met in my life,” she said.
Sherika de Armas always had dreams of being a model, as she explained in her interview for the Miss World competition back in 2015.
“I always wanted to be a model, whether a beauty model, an advertising model or a catwalk model,” she said.
“I like everything related to fashion and I think that within a beauty pageant, any girl’s dream is to have the opportunity to participate in Miss Universe. I am very happy to be able to live this experience full of challenges.”
In addition to having her own skincare line, the former Miss World contestant was also a patron of the Pérez Scremini Foundation, which aims to cure childhood cancer.
