Cori Broadus Holds Weekend Memorial for Infant Daughter Codi Dreaux

The family’s weekend memorial followed a year marked by extreme prematurity and a prolonged NICU stay.

Overview

  • Broadus and fiancé Wayne "Duece" Polk shared images from the service, including a pink car reading "The princess has arrived in heaven" and a dove release.
  • Photos showed loved ones at a gravesite and church reception, with attendees in matching "Codi's Crew" outfits and a teddy bear placed on the casket.
  • The couple said Codi died in late January shortly after returning home from an extended NICU stay following her 25‑week birth in February 2025.
  • In a eulogy, Broadus mourned milestones she will never see and said she is "trusting God" even though the loss does not make sense to her.
  • Relatives and friends, including Snoop Dogg and Broadus’s siblings, offered support, and Broadus thanked her faith community for continual prayers.
