In loving memory of our sister, Stella Nez Perce, it is with heavy heart that our family is grieving the sudden and unexpected loss of my beloved sister on October 3, 2026.

According to investigators, she was the innocent victim to gun violence. Currently under investigation we anxiously await answers. She was taken from us far too soon, and we are still trying to process the heartbreak of losing her.

As her sister, I am reaching out for help during this incredibly difficult time. Her passing was unexpected, and our family is now facing expenses we were not prepared for, including funeral costs, travel and lodging expenses, and other necessary arrangements. I am creating this GoFundMe to help ease some of the financial burden on our family, as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Any contribution, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to us. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers would also mean the world to us.

Wóphila Tȟáŋka / Many Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity and support during this painful time. We are deeply grateful for every donation, every share and every act of love shown to our family.

Sister & brother Jodene & Dion Nez Perce, and Family
