Lezaria Karizma Redding, affectionately known to her loved ones as Zari, Noodle, and Zi, graced this world with her presence on July 1, 2015, in Greenville, South Carolina. Her radiant spirit and infectious laughter were a blessing to all who knew her, and it is with profound sadness that we announce her passing on February 9, 2025, in her hometown of Greenville.
Zari was a beacon of joy and creativity from her earliest days. She shared an unbreakable bond with her parents, Sara and Jay Williams, who cherished every moment with their extraordinary daughter. Her playful spirit and boundless imagination were a constant source of delight to her siblings, Sha'Rod Williams, Adrian Thompson and Mariah Thompson, who found in her not just a sister but a true friend.
Her grandmother, Tania Lesniak, always had a special place in Zari's heart, as did her grandfather, Elvin Pacheco, and her grandmothers, Angeline Anderson Williams and Bobby Anderson. Zari's uncle, Josiel Pacheco, along with her aunt, Arkelys Fields, and cousins, Alexander Arcaya and Melia Brandon, were integral parts of her life, sharing in her adventures and dreams.
Zari's light shone brightly, touching lives with her kindness and exuberance. She was a treasure to her family, a source of laughter and love that will be deeply missed. Her memory will be cherished and kept alive through the stories and memories that her family holds dear.
As we bid farewell to Lezaria Karizma Redding, we celebrate the years we were privileged to have her in our lives. Her spirit, a blend of warmth and whimsy, will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her. Zari's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the pure joy she brought into the world. She will be profoundly missed, but her light will continue to guide us, just as the stars continue to shine even after they have faded from view.
