Parade Victim, Aaliyah Carter - Laid to Rest

News KBMT

Aaliyah Carter was only ten years old but family and friends say she lived a wonderful life.

Aaliyah was laid to rest Friday, December 12 after being run over by a float after she tripped and fell.

Family members call the service a celebration of life.

Hundreds of people showed up to Paradise Baptist Church on Fannet Road.

Her family says Aaliyah had a passion for dance, taking lessons at "I Rule" Dance Studio in Beaumont and she was on a drill team.

She attended school at Homer Elementary.
