J'Dolyn Marie LeBeau was born September 14, 2018 to Randi LeBeau at Avera Queen of Peace, Mitchell, South Dakota.

J'Dolyn came into this world fighting and left this world fighting. She was born two and a half weeks early and was sent to the Avera NICU in Sioux Falls, SD. She was there for a little over three weeks until she let them know she was ready to join the crazy life with her mother and big brothers. J'Dolyn was named after her special uncle Jay Dolyn "JD". As she grew, she was the center of attention of her four brothers. She loved to be held and she loved all the attention that was lavished on her. Baby JD loved when you would talk to her and when her brothers would push her in her walker. She was the baby girl that the family had been patiently waiting for. Just a week shy of 5 months old, JD was unexpectedly flown to PICU in Sioux Falls, SD where she spent the next seven days fighting. While in the PICU she was baptized and received her Lakota name "Strong Will Woman" which defined how her life was. She started her journey the same day as her Uncle JD started his 13 years earlier. She was never without her mother, they were together 24/7. She loved her mother and her mother loved her. JD gave us a lifetime of love during her short time on this earth. Baby girl was Grandma Jeanette's girl, Auntie DeAnna's Princess & Auntie Chelsey's Sisssha. Her beautiful smile could make you fall in love with her. Baby JD past away peacefully in her mothers arms.

Dearest JD, please know that my greatest blessing was having you…Love, Mom.
