Help Support the Family of Baby Azora Jada Marie Richmond

On January 5, 2026, our hearts were forever changed with the passing of Azora Jada Marie Richmond, a beautiful and deeply loved baby girl from Moline, Illinois. Azora was born two months prematurely on February 12, 2025, and from the very beginning, she showed incredible strength, determination, and grace.

Though her time on this Earth was far too short, Azora made a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. She was a feisty little fighter with wide, curious eyes who loved playing with her hands, laughing softly, and peacefully observing the world around her. She was gentle, content, and rarely cried—leaving behind an immeasurable sense of love and calm.

Azora passed away at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, surrounded by love. She is survived by her devoted parents, Paris Watkins-Griggs and Antonio Richmond, along with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many family members who cherished every moment with her.

We are raising funds to help support Azora’s family during this unimaginable time. Donations will assist with funeral and memorial expenses, as well as easing the financial burden so her parents can focus on grieving, healing, and honoring their precious daughter.

Any contribution—no matter the amount—means more than words can express. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Azora’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness as we remember the beautiful life of Azora Jada Marie Richmond
