Leilani Jordan had insisted to her family she needed to report to her job as a grocery store clerk and bagger at a Giant Food store in her home of Largo, Maryland.

“It’s just crazy here at work … but somebody’s got to do it,” Jordan said, according to her mother, Zenobia Shepherd, who appeared on CNN on Wednesday. “I’ve got to help the older people.”

It wasn’t easy for Jordan, who had cerebral palsy, a physical disorder, to be a helping hand to seniors, but she was determined to be there for them — even though she risked her life to do so.

“She was doing everything for them: Helping them put their groceries in their walkers, to helping them get into lifts,” Shepherd said.

According to her parents, Jordan, 27, was hospitalized for severe coronavirus symptoms in late March. She died last week.

“It was my baby!” Shepherd, crying, told CNN Wednesday. “All she wanted to do was just help people.”

Jordan’s last day at work was March 16.

“We can only imagine the heartache they are experiencing and have offered our support during this difficult time,” Giant Food said in a statement.

Her parents said her illness descended before the family had a chance to say their goodbyes.

Little did they know, Jordan had anticipated the worst.

“By the time she got to the hospital, she fell out and was unconscious and was put into ICU,” said Shepherd. “The next thing I knew, she was intubated.”

“She coded in my arms,” said the mom through choked-back tears.

After she’d passed away, Jordan’s stepfather, Charles, noticed she’d removed password protection on her phone — and discovered she’d secretly recorded a farewell to her family.

“She made a video saying goodbye to all us, and wished everybody the best,” he said.

“She told us bye; her sisters, [and her service dog] Angel, bye; and all her friends,” he added. “She told them, you know, ‘See you on the other side.'”
