With heavy hearts and unimaginable sorrow, we share the tragic news of the passing of Tamilore Odunsi, affectionately known by her loved ones and online community as “Tami Dollars” or “TD.” At just 23 years old, Tamilore’s life was senselessly and brutally cut short—just days before she was set to graduate from Texas Woman’s University in pursuit of her dream to become a nurse.
Tamilore was more than just a student or content creator—she was a radiant soul whose kindness, ambition, and faith lit up every room she entered. Born in the United Kingdom, she later moved to the United States to follow her calling in healthcare. Her dream was simple yet profound: to care for others, especially children. That mission was at the heart of everything she did, from her rigorous academic work to her joyful and inspiring social media presence.
A proud and devoted Christian, Tami’s faith was not just a part of her identity—it was the foundation of her life. She was active in her church, where she served with a heart full of compassion, humility, and grace. Whether she was leading worship, volunteering at youth events, or offering a word of encouragement to someone in need, she embodied Christ’s love in both word and action.
Tami also had a creative spark that made her a beacon of light online. Through her TikTok videos, she blended humor, style, authenticity, and faith, becoming a source of joy and empowerment to thousands. Her vibrant personality and genuine heart made her stand out in a crowded digital world—reminding her followers to stay true to themselves and trust God’s timing.
The news of her untimely death has sent shockwaves through her family, friends, classmates, and the wider community. What should have been a week of celebration and new beginnings has instead become a time of deep mourning. The pain of losing Tami, especially under such violent and unjust circumstances, is incomprehensible. Her life was full of promise—a light meant to shine far longer.
Tamilore is survived by her loving family, who supported her dreams with pride and unwavering love. She is remembered as a devoted daughter, a loyal sister, a trusted friend, and an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In her honor, her family is raising funds to ensure she receives a peaceful and dignified farewell. They hope to lay her to rest surrounded by the love and support she gave so freely during her short but powerful life.
Though Tamilore’s time on Earth has ended far too soon, her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the legacy she leaves behind. She was a bright light in a world that can sometimes seem dark, and that light will never be forgotten.
May her soul rest in perfect peace. May justice be served. And may we carry her memory with us always—with love, with purpose, and with faith.
