Sheryl Denise Smith

Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Sheryl Denise Smith “Neicy” passed away on Friday, December 30, 2022, at her residence in Saginaw, Michigan. Age 55 years. She was born March 15, 1967, in Montgomery, Alabama, to Luola Smith Harper and Roy Williams.

Neicy was a vibe all by herself! She loved her fashion and dressing from head to toe. She enjoyed basketball, cooking, eating crab legs, playing cards, dancing, and keeping a clean house. Most of all, Niecy enjoyed spending time and caring for her family and friends. She did not meet any strangers. She had a smile like no other; one that would light up the entire room. Sheryl will truly be missed by family and friends who love her dearly.
