ST. CLAIR, Minn. — The St. Clair community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Aja St. Peter, a beloved mother to Paige, Paityn, and Paisley, following a tragic accident that has left her family facing unimaginable grief.
Aja’s passing has deeply affected the small community, where friends, neighbors, school families, and loved ones are now coming together to support the St. Peter family through an extraordinarily difficult time.
Aja’s husband, Justin, was seriously injured in the same accident and remains hospitalized in Rochester. According to the community message, he faces a lengthy hospital stay followed by a long and challenging road to recovery.
For the family, the days ahead will bring not only profound emotional pain but also significant practical and financial challenges. Community members are organizing donations and gift cards to help ease some of the expenses associated with travel, medical care, and the family’s ongoing needs.
Gift cards for Walmart, Chipotle, Taco John’s, McDonald’s, Subway, and Kwik Trip gas cards have been identified as helpful ways to support the family, particularly with the repeated trips between St. Clair and Rochester.
Community members have also been encouraged to offer support in whatever way they feel able—whether through prayers, donations, meals, gift cards, or simple acts of kindness.
Donations can be provided through Coach Ashley Sander at St. Clair School or Athletic Backers Director Carrie Zeldenrust, with community organizers also offering to help ensure contributions reach the St. Peter family directly.
As Aja’s loved ones navigate the painful days ahead, the St. Clair community is reminding the family that they do not have to face the journey alone.
Aja St. Peter will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her children, Justin, her family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched. The Cyclone community continues to stand together for the St. Peter family.
