Corfu - Nie’Sha M. Smith, 23, of Corfu, New York went to be with her Lord on September 4, 2018. She joins her beloved baby sister, LaShana Smith and aunt, Susan Burrell. She is survived by her mother, Rosemarie Smith. Her father, Worrel Chaplin. Brother, Tyrone Smith, and sister,  LaToya Smith. Also, her “neicey poo,” Londyn Percival.


Ni was a Queen to say the least. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. She was loving and caring. She was not perfect, but when she loved, she loved with all of her heart.  She was a magnet for children and loved them as if they were her own. She had a passion for art and music. She was extremely intelligent making the President’s List at Strayer University multiple times. She was proud of herself by beating the odds and graduating high school, getting her license, and her own car.


Ni was always the funniest and loudest in the room. Right now the pain of her passing is loud. It’s loud and it’s heavy. May we all find comfort in knowing she loved us just as much as we loved her.


Her joyous soul will always look over us as she is reunited with her sister. For we have gained a beautiful guardian angel and that is nothing to be sad about. Peace and love. Forever Young. We’ll miss you, Ni.

Family and friends may call on Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m. at the H.E Turner & Co. Funeral Home, 403 E. Main Street, Batavia, where Ni’s Funeral Service will be held immediately following visitation at 4:00 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Autism Society of America, 4340 East West Hwy Suite 350, Bethesda, MD 20814.
