The 7-year-old girl shot her mother’s head during a suicide that her sisters killed after five days of fighting for her life in the hospital.
Olivia Blackmer died on Saturday afternoon in the lower children’s hospital in Salt Lake City, unveiled her stepmom in a devastating update that was placed on the GoFundMe campaign she started for the medical costs of the little girl.
“Olivia is now with her sisters,” wrote Katelynn Beatty in a Sunday update on the page of fundraising. “She got her angel wings yesterday at 3.44 pm.”
“She fought so hard until the last moment until the last moment! Her body and her brain had experienced too much, medication helped but we reached a point where medical options were exhausted and her body only got worse, “Beatty added.
“She just kept going until her heart stopped. We are grateful that she sustained as long as she did, so that we could have some valuable time with our dear baby girl in the last five days. “
Olivia was shot in the head by her mother, trialelle Harshman, 32, in the parental home in Byron, Wyoming, on February 10, in a murder of suicide in which the mother also killed her 9-year-old sister Brailey and her 2-year-old twin step sisters Brooke and Jordan before turning the gun on their own.
The 7-year-old was flown to the Utah Children’s Hospital and underwent a brain surgery for emergency situations and then spent days “heavily numb” until her death.
“We want to thank you all for your prayers and support for our family. We are in a rough place with the tragic death of both daughters. We took the time as a family to mourn and at the moment before we let the world know, but wanted to let you know because we are grateful for everything you did, “wrote Beatty.
“Olivia and Brailey know how loved they were through all of us! This becomes extremely difficult, keep our family in your prayers, while we find out how we can mourn this horrific tragedy daily. “
Olivia and Brailey’s father, Quinn Blackmer, also shared the news of her death Facebook Sunday And also thanked “every person who donated and prayed and fast for us and our family and our beautiful Olivia.”
“The peace that I find is knowing that my babies should not be apart and that they can also be with their other sisters,” he wrote.
“I hate that I even have to post this part. Do not click on the left those random people, because they have nothing to do with us and may be malignant. “
The family still works funeral arrangements for the 7-year-old.
Harshman – who struggled with her mental health and suffering from postpartum depression and PTSD – called 911 and told the dispatcher where they would find her children’s bodies before they shot themselves.
When officers arrived on stage, Harshman was found alive. She later died in a Billings hospital.
The brothers and sisters divided their lives between Byron, Wyoming, where they stayed with their mother and stepfather – and Utah, where they stayed with their father and stepmother.
Olivia and her sister Brailey were incredibly close, said a family friend.
The grieving father of Brooke and Jordan, Cliff Harshman, told KTVQ On Thursday, the overwhelming loss was “a little further than what I can understand.”
“I’m so angry. I don’t even know how to explain this to you. I am so angry with her because of the decision that was made, “shared the deeply sad father.
