Rayven A’livia Smith Born into the arms of angels on December 20, 2024.
Rayven A’livia Smith graced this world with her presence in a way that can only be described as extraordinary, even in its brevity. Though she was called to heaven before taking her first breath, her impact on those who love her is immeasurable.
She is survived by her loving parents, Shalynn Suddeth and Reginald Smith, whose hearts are forever marked by her love and memory. Rayven A’livia was eagerly awaited and adored by her aunties, Rayanna Smith, Cherise Suddeth, and Promise Suddeth and Regina Smith; her uncle, Lakeiyan Suddeth; and her grandparents, Sherry Bailey, Cedrick Bailey, Amy Anderson, and Glenny “Felt”Suddeth. Each of them held dreams and hopes for her life and will carry her spirit with them always.
Rayven’s life, though brief, serves as a reminder of the depth of love and connection that binds families together. She brought light, hope, and joy into the hearts of all who anticipated her arrival. Her presence, even for such a short time, will forever remain a part of the lives she touched.
A private service will be held to honor Rayven A’livia’s memory, allowing her family and loved ones to celebrate the beautiful gift of her life and the love she leaves behind.
