Rachel Elizabeth Imani Buckner Life & Legacy Fund

Hi, my name is S. Jamila Buckner– I am the mother of Rachel Elizabeth Imani Buckner. Rachel– referred to affectionately by close family and friends as Imani– was tragically taken from this Earth and her loved ones in July 2023.

To anyone that got to know and be around Imani, she was a beautiful and radiant light. She had an infectious spirit that you could not help but smile when around and gravitate towards. A graduate of Howard University for her undergraduate studies and a recent graduate from Golden Gate University with her Juris Doctorate, Imani was an accomplished woman on her way to being an exceptional professional. She was at the beginning of her life and her journey and had so much more life to live. Imani is survived in life by her grandmother, mother, her older brother, her younger brother, her young daughter, her Aunt Sis, and a number of other beloved extended family members.

With the sudden news of her passing, the family is need of assistance with unexpected funeral expenses. We would like to be able to memorialize her and send her off in a fashion deserving of the special life she led. The goal of this fund is two-fold: to be able to pay for any immediate funeral expenses, and to assist in any future expenses and needs for her daughter.
