Hi my name is Challista Colelay. Im making this on behalf of my Parents to help raise money for my Little sister’s Funeral Expenses.
Challistia Lulani Colelay “Tia” was a 16yr old girl when her life was shortened. Tia came from a big family with 6 brothers and 6 sisters and both parents and Loving God-Parents. She was an outgoing, funny, goofy sister that we all loved. She was the baby of the family and she always went by “Baby girl” or “Tia girl” and was always smiling and teasing everyone she came in contact with. She loved painting, drawing, crafting, going camping, fishing, and just driving the back roads with family, she loved being outdoors.
November 3rd 2025 around late evening The WMAT police department uploaded a Facebook status of a Body being found near the Community of Knots Landing in Whiteriver, Az. Describing Clothing, shoes, the possible built of the person found. Family called trying to contact PD to see if the person found was our Tia. But no information was given.
November 4rd 2025 the Bureau of Investigations of the Fort Apache Indian Reservation came to talk to the family showing pictures of the shoes, clothing, jewelry, phone and etc. to the Mother and Father to identify the Female body. It was confirmed that the body was indeed 16 yr old Challistia “Tia” Colelay.
We the Family of Tia are asking for the help to raise money to help with Funeral expenses. We are going to miss our Daughter, sister, aunt, and cousin deeply. No words can describe the heartbreak we feel for our TiaGirl.
