Tiara Manica

Tiara Nicole Manica, age 17, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on October 4, 2025. Born on April 26, 2008, Tiara brought joy, laughter, and light to everyone blessed to know her.

Tiara was a creative and artistic soul who loved expressing herself through beauty and design. She adored Hello Kitty, doing her nails, and finding small ways to make life brighter and more colorful. But above all, she loved her five siblings deeply and fiercely — they were her greatest joy and her heart’s pride.

Tiara was preceded in death by her grandparents Fred Manica and Deborah McGee.

Tiara is survived by her loving parents, Meredith and Channing Manica; and her devoted siblings, Mariah Murphy, Xavier Murphy, Makenah Manica, Jazlyn Mason, and Channing Manica Jr. She also leaves behind her grandparents, Tim and Terry Gramig; and many other family members and friends who will forever hold her memory close.

Tiara’s gentle spirit, warm smile, and creative heart will never be forgotten. Her light will continue to shine through the love she gave, the laughter she shared, and the countless lives she touched.

Gone too soon, but Forever 17 — our beautiful angel, loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
