With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved Simera Ladson—just 23 years old, full of life, and gone far too soon.
Simera was more than a friend—she was family to so many. A bright light with a radiant spirit, infectious laughter, and a heart big enough to hold everyone she loved. She was bold, compassionate, full of joy, and always the first to offer help, a kind word, or a listening ear.
Simera had a unique gift for making people feel seen and safe. She empowered girls to love themselves, encouraged her friends to dream bigger, and brought warmth into every room she entered. She was truly one of a kind.
Simera faced more grief in her life than many will ever know—having already lost her mother and a sibling. Yet she met every hardship with grace, strength, and hope. Now, her siblings Tiffany and Dennis are left to carry the unbearable weight of her loss—emotionally and financially.
We’re coming together—friends, family, and loved ones—to help raise $18,000 to give Simera a memorial and burial that reflect the beauty she gave to this world. The funds will go toward funeral costs and helping loved ones travel to say goodbye.
We need your help.
Whether you can give $5 or $500, every donation brings us closer to honoring Simera’s life with the dignity and love she deserves. And if you’re not in a place to give, please consider sharing this campaign with your community.
Thank you for loving Simera with us. Her light lives on in everyone she touched—and we’ll carry her memory with us always.
With love and gratitude,
Friends & Family of Simera Ladson
