With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Talitha Parise LaGrone, lovingly known throughout St. Louis as “Laddy St. Louis" or simply "Gee Gee". But she was more than a name, she was a presence, a spirit, and a light in her community. As the daughter of Ms. Lisa LaGrone of Safe Streets, Safe Neighborhoods, she came from a legacy of strength, advocacy, and love for the people of this city. That same love lived in GeeGee and continues through the six beautiful children she leaves behind.

Today, those six children — ranging in age from just 4 to 15 years old — are now facing life without their mother. This GoFundMe has been created to help provide stability, care, and support for them during this incredibly difficult time. Your contribution will go toward meeting their daily needs, ensuring they are cared for, and helping them move forward with the security and love every child deserves.

No amount is too small. Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness makes a meaningful difference. If you are able, please give. If you cannot give, please share and keep this family in your prayers. Together, we can surround these children with the same love their mother gave so freely to others. Thank you for your compassion and support.
