Kiara A. Cobb

May 2, 1990 — February 27, 2017

Kiara Anaya Cobb was diagnosed with Type 1 juvenile diabetes at the tender age of 3.
Kiara was full of life. Her most cherished accomplishment was giving birth to Kaniya Dixon on March 6,2008. Kaniya became her world and her purpose to live, giving her the encouragement to not let her diagnosis hinder her ability to actively mother her daughter.

Kiara never gave up. She maintained a brave and cheerful outlook of an optimistic future even through countless treatments of dialysis, hospitalizations and pain. She raised her daughter Kaniya to believe in God, the power of faith, to enjoy life, and to be kind & loving to others no matter the occasion or situation.

She died peacefully at home on February 27, 2017.

Kiara known to her friends and family as Kee Kee was born on May 2, 1990 in Chicago, Illinois to Tamara (Tammy) Minor and Donald Cobb Sr.

She graduated from Galesburg High school in 2008.

Filled with compassion and interests in others, Kee Kee made friends easily. Her personality was infectious.

Before her passing, Kiara was employed at Checkers restaurant.

Kiara was an active member of The Isreal of God church and found great comfort in knowing that by grace she was saved through faith; and that not of ourselves is the gift of God.
Kiara is survived by her sensible, intelligent and honorable daughter Kaniya Tamara Dixon; Father Donald Winston Cobb Sr; four brothers; Donald(Dub), Jordan, JaQuay, Darrien; seven sisters; Tamika, Jasmine, Dominique, JaVanna, JaMya, Deztanee, Tyanna; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
