On Friday, November 21st, 2025, Jemimah Audu collapsed during her basketball game at Discovery Middle School in Fargo, ND. She was transported to Sanford Medical Center where she passed away.

Shattered and heartbroken are the only words that come close to how her family and friends are feeling. Her parents, Johnny and Sarah Cox, wish to thank the staff and first responders (police, fire, EMT) that attended to her. Also, to the ER staff who tried so hard to revive her. With no previous health conditions, an autopsy is pending at the University of North Dakota.

Jemimah was in 8th grade at Discovery Middle School. She enjoyed basketball and her youth group at Northview Church. She held an especially close bond with her brother Jethro. He currently plays football with Dynasty Elite Athletics and attends 5th grade at Eagles Elementary.

Donations will go directly to family and her final arrangements.

I created this account as a friend of the family. Miss Sarah, as we affectionately call her, has cared for my son and loved on him like her own child. Earlier this year when Johnny joined the family it felt whole again. I would be grateful for any donation to help them honor Jemimah. She was a kind and beautiful soul to all she encountered.

Funeral arrangements:

Monday, December 1, 2025 at 5 PM at Northview Church, 3401 25th St S, Fargo, ND 58104. Visitation will be at 4pm.
