Nevaeh Ja’Nay Smith was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on December 31, 2003, to Denise Smith and Joseph Robertson. She was the second of three children. Her name was created by spelling “heaven” backwards because Nevaeh truly was a gift from God.

She attended Phoenix School of Discovery and enjoyed cooking, especially her comfort foods such as fried chicken, green beans, and macaroni and cheese. Nevaeh was a DIVA who loved to shop online, talk on the telephone, and search the internet for the latest hair styles for her to master. Of course, she would constantly take selfies of her different looks.

Neveah was a caregiver, loved kids, and was extremely excited to be the aunt of her niece De’Zaire. In her spare time, she listened to her favorite rapper and artist, “Rod Wave” and watched scary movies and TV shows like “Everybody Hates Chris” which was her favorite along with Lifetime movies. TikTok and Instagram also consumed a lot of her time. Neveah was a homebody who enjoyed her own company.

On Monday, October 14, 2024, Nevaeh Ja’Nay Smith departed this life. She leaves to cherish their memories of her: mother, Denise Smith; brother, DeMarcus Smith; sister, Angel King; granny, Penny Williams; aunt, Lakeitha Draper; uncle, Tywon Williams; and a host of extended family and friends.
