Ty’Kerria Breanna Nakkia Smith was born September 20, 2000 to Roger Smith and LaKita Campbell in Blytheville, AR. She is preceded in death by her father Roger Smith; grandmothers, Mary Ann Rinkines and Donna Campbell. She was a beautiful soul whose life, though brief, was filled with purpose, love, and faith. In 2004, she was baptized at Dell Baptist Church under the leadership and direction of Bishop James R. Sims, Sr., publicly declaring her faith and commitment to the Lord.

Ty’Kerria had a deep love for worship and music. She faithfully served in the children’s choir, where she not only sang but often led with confidence and passion. Two of her favorite songs, “My Worship is For Real” and “Now Behold the Lamb,” reflected the sincerity of her heart and her devotion to Christ. When she sang, it was not just a performance—it was an expression of her relationship with God. Ty’Kerria was a loving and devoted mother to three beautiful children: Ty’Khail, Keyair and Bles’syn. They were her pride, her joy, and her greatest motivation. Everything she did was rooted in her desire to give them a better life and a strong foundation.

She was also a visionary and a woman of determination. Ty’Kerria was pursuing her dream of becoming a pharmacist, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. She was the owner of “Ty’s Treats and More Catering Co.,”. She dreamed of creating something lasting that her children and family could be proud of.
