Honoring Quiana Smith: A Mother, A Light, A Legacy

In Loving Memory of Quiana Smith

On Wednesday, July 16th, our beautiful mother, Quiana Smith, gained her wings. Our hearts are shattered, and as we try to process this loss, we’re also preparing to give her the homegoing she truly deserves.

We’re reaching out to ask for your support. Any amount you can give will go directly toward funeral expenses and helping us honor her the way she should be. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this means just as much.

Quiana was the heart of our family. A strong, loving mother of three, a daughter, a big sister, and a person who touched the hearts of everyone she met. She gave EVERYTHING she had to the people she loved. She was selfless, full of light, and always found a way to lift others even when life was hard.

Her dream came true. Her three beautiful children are all finding their way in life. Her oldest daughter is the SGA President at NCCU and about to begin her senior year. Her middle son is on his way to becoming a CNA and is preparing to welcome her first grandchild. Her youngest daughter will become a certified dental assistant before starting her freshman year at NCCU this fall.

This is incredibly hard on all of us because our mommy was truly our superhero. She worked tirelessly, sometimes more than she should have just to make sure we were on the right path. She was more than an amazing mother. She was our heart, our protector, and our BIGGEST supporter. And we were her universe.

Her passing has left a space that can never be filled, but we’re holding on tight to her love and all the memories that will stay with us forever.

Thank you for your prayers, your support, and for standing with us during this difficult time.

With love,

Sha'lexus Sanders — her firstborn daughter, and Family
