With a penchant for hot pink and leopard prints, and a personality that consumed a room, friends and family say six-year-old Jasmina Anema didn't just make an impression. She often left adults awed by her wisdom and fortitude.

"Throughout this whole odyssey, I was impressed and in fact startled by Jasmina's enthusiasm and energy to live in the moment with grace and style like I've never seen before,” said her doctor, William Carroll.

Jasmina lost her one-year battle with a rare and especially deadly form of Leukemia on January 27th.

When doctors determined she needed a bone marrow transplant last spring, her mother collaborated with Jasmina's Greenwich Village school to organize a drive to search for a donor match. It attracted an estimated 10,000 people. With her vivacious persona, Jasmina illuminated the need for more African- Americans to register for the bone marrow donor registry.

"Jasmina's life was short but incredible,” said a friend at the funeral. “She personified happiness. She is a star. Her unyielding spirit moved a city, a nation and then the world."

Jasmina captured the attention of celebrities, including singers Kelly Rowland and Rihanna. And last December, through the Make-a-Wish foundation, she spent memorable moments with President Barack Obama at the White house.

Actress Jill Hennesey recalled meeting Jasmina for the first time when she was three years old.

"Jasmina walked in with a Dolce and Gabbana leopard print Mary Jane shoes and I was thinking, ‘man I want to know what makes this chick tick,’” she said.

"She was fun to be with,” said her godfather. “Even as a toddler, she had this big gravelly laugh that was astonishing and infectious and Jasmina was comfortable in her own skin. She and her mom were a complete family."

In her final days, Jasmina worried about her mother and spoke of wanting to help the kids in Haiti. Although Jasmina is gone, her mother vows that her mission burns righter than ever. She hopes one-million people will be inspired to join the bone marrow registry.

In lieu of flowers, Jasmina's family is asking for donations to the One For Jasmina Foundation:
