JETAYA LUCERO Obituary

JETAYA LUCERO Jetaya Rose Lucero, of 19 years, passed away on June 7, 2023, in Lawrence, KS She was born in Merriam, KS on September 26, 2003. Jetaya had the most amazing contagious smile. You could feel her love and happiness through her smile. She lived life to the fullest and loved every person and animal she came across. She loved her dog Osa, cats Nikka and Alaska. Show her a horse and they bonded immediately. Jetaya loved to go to Luke Bryan concerts with her mama Sharen. She also loved to go to KC Royals baseball games with mama and many special friends. She was on the Big screen and you could see her smile and she also was invited to sit with a family in the Buck O'Neil seat section. Oh, what a day. She will be remembered as her daddy's Poofy Poof and Sweets. Jetaya loved to garden, fish, go camping, dance in the living room and on Tic Tok. She graduated from High School in April 2022.

I met Jetaya at TLC. She had the kindest soul I´ve ever met in such a young age. She was kind, sweet, always helpful and supportive of others. She always gave me the biggest smile and loved to tell me about her plans for her future. I hope her family finds peace and I hope she rests peacefully as well.

I knew Jetaya through TLC and she was a caring and compassionate resident; always quick to encourage others and offer assistance with the young ones on the unit. I remember how excited Jetaya was once when she caught a squirrel on campus. I´ll always remember that infectious smile and was glad her parents allowed her joy to continue on through organ donation.
My prayers go out to the family.

I went to school with Jetaya. She was always very nice to me. Prayers for your family and all the donor recipients.

Jetaya was the sweetest person with the biggest smile taken too soon from the ones fortunate to know her & love her... God has a plan and she has and will continue to touch many lives as she has done ours. She was able to save 5 lives with her own. Heaven has received the brightest angel!
