Azhariah L. Mccray-Laury

Our Angel, Azhariah Lenise McCray-Laury, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, September 22, 2016 at Covenant Healthcare-Harrison. She was born in Saginaw, Michigan on February 22, 2013 and is the daughter of Ashari McCray-Laury and Jaylen Finch.


Everyone remembers Azhariah as a very high-spirited little girl with a personality of her own. She is loved by so many. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her fell in love with her. Her mere presence caused them to love her unconditionally. Azhariah was affectionately known as Baby Doll, because of her beautiful spirit and her doll-like beauty. She is also referred to as Tugga by her grandmother, Andrea Laury, because Azhariahs spirit demanded that you love her as she tugged at your heart. If you met her you will never be able to forget such a beautiful angel.
