Hi, my name is Angela Hannah, and I am a friend of our beloved Tiara Hooper.

For the past 2.5 years, Tiara — lovingly known as Ms. Tee — selflessly volunteered her time in my classroom. She showed up not because she had to, but because she cared. She stayed so I wouldn’t be alone. That speaks volumes about who she was. She loved working with what she called "her babies."

Tiara was an incredible mom, a devoted daughter, a loyal friend, wonderful coworker and a beautiful spirit who brought joy and light wherever she went. She was a treasured member of the community — always ready to lend a hand, always with a smile that could brighten any room.

We are heartbroken by her passing, and I’m starting this GoFundMe to help support her family during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly to helping ease the burden on her loved ones as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity.
