She attended Early Head Start in St. Michael and graduated from there and went on to attend Four Winds Elementary School in Fort Totten. She always looked forward to getting up and going to school. She was always involved in school activities, such as 21st Century and basketball. At the time of her passing she had just achieved graduating from the 3rd Grade and would have been going onto the 4th Grade. We are and always were very proud of Destiny. She had many friends and she loved being around her teachers. She was always happy to come home and share her stories with the family. Destiny loved to eat hot Cheetos and McChickens. She always loved to eat Mom’s famous soup. She loved being outside playing with siblings, cousins and close friends. She always loved going to Grandpa’s house to visit and to play Xbox with her sisters and cousins. Destiny Jane was such a beautiful, bright, friendly, caring and happy little 9 year old girl.
