McKaya Raquel Ledford was a 10-year-old student at Grandview School in Comanche, Oklahoma, remembered for straight A’s and a bright, energetic personality.

She was transported to OU Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City and died there on Thursday evening, March 19, 2015, from her injuries.

The death was ruled an accident and no arrests were made. Her family described her as a little princess and a firecracker who enjoyed American Girl dolls, Barbies, and time with friends, cousins, and her two brothers, Hunter and Tucker. A funeral service took place at Ray of Hope Church and she was buried at Fairlawn Cemetery.
