Tiara Johnson, a beloved mother of four, passed away suddenly on the morning of June 3, 2024. She was 32 years old. Tiara’s unexpected death has left her family in deep mourning and in urgent need of financial assistance to bring her home and cover funeral expenses.
Tiara was a devoted wife to her husband, Sam, and a caring mother to their four young children, ages 9, 7, and 3. She was the family’s cornerstone, and her sudden passing has destabilized their household. Tiara had no medical insurance, and her family now faces significant expenses for an autopsy, transporting her body to Mississippi, and arranging her funeral.
A GoFundMe campaign has been organized by Nictika Warren to support Tiara’s family during this difficult time. The goal is to raise $17,000, and as of now, $800 has been raised from four donations. Deborah Lehmann contributed $500, Roxanne Graziano donated $100, and two anonymous donors each gave $100.
Tiara’s mother, Ahnahyah BayathYah, shared her heartfelt plea on the fundraising page, expressing her need for assistance: "I am a mother of 3 children and 7 grandchildren. But I need assistance for one of my children, my banyam, my beloved daughter, my bayath, that you see in the photo above. She was the sole strength of the household and when she passed suddenly, she left behind a very shaky home foundation."
The community has also shown their support on social media. Toni Burkett, a relative, wrote, "Tiara Johnson was my cousin Sam’s wife, and mother to their four beautiful children. If anyone can help her family to bring her home, it would be greatly appreciated. Please keep everyone in your good thoughts, prayers, and other sentiments."
The family plans to bury Tiara in the same location as her great-grandmother in the family cemetery in Mississippi. Ahnahyah BayathYah is flying to Nevada to handle the arrangements using the last of her disability resources. The family is also planning to move to Mississippi to be closer to extended family for support.
Tiara’s passing is a profound loss, and her family is grateful for any assistance during this time of need.
