Rhythm French Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bi-State Cremation & Funeral Service - Florissant on Jan. 9, 2026.
Miss Rhythm R. French

Rhythm was a sweet, beautiful, and a rambunctious soul who loved to play with her siblings and cousins. She enjoyed dressing herself to "look pretty"; and was always ready to strike a pose. Rhythm was quite precocious- learning to speak in full sentences by two. She was incredibly fond of Peppa Pig, Bluey, and Bubble Guppies- often pretending to be the characters by imitating their mannerisms and accents. She will be terribly and wonderfully missed.

Rhythm is survived by her mother, Akia Pope; and father, DeAndre Criswell.

She is survived by her maternal sibling, Kaliape French (5); and paternal siblings: Shamaria Roddy (23), Jordan Roddy (19), D'Asia Criswell (12), and Derrianna Criswell (12).

She is survived by her paternal Grandparents, Charlotte and Corey Gamble; maternal grandparents, Anthony Jones and Tiwana McDuffie; and maternal great grandparents, Gloria and George Cooper, and Marie Jones. Last, she is survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and even a niece.
