Danielle Armani Smith

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Danielle Smith, a devoted mother, beloved sister, and cherished friend, who departed this world on April 7, 2026, at the tender age of 31. Born on January 31, 1995, in Atlanta, Georgia, Danielle was a beacon of strength and resilience throughout her life, traits that were evident until her very last moments. Danielle was the cherished daughter of Leron Smith and Chantel Taylor, who both preceded her in death, along with her beloved grandfather, Dorcy Smith. Their teachings and love shaped Danielle into the extraordinary woman she became—one who was known for her unwavering strength, warmth, and love for her family. Danielle's legacy lives on through her four precious daughters: Alyssa, Ayanna, Armani, and Aliyah Smith. They were the light of her life and her greatest source of joy. Danielle was a devoted mother who instilled in her girls the values of love, perseverance, and kindness, ensuring her spirit would continue to guide them. She is also survived by her siblings, who were her lifelong companions and confidants: her sister, De'Aja Smith-Tyler, and her brothers, Brandon Smith and Alayla Smith. Together, they shared countless memories filled with laughter, support, and an unbreakable bond that only grew stronger over time. Danielle's siblings remember her as a guiding star, always ready with a listening ear or a comforting word. Danielle's life was a testament to the strength of the human spirit. She faced her challenges with grace and determination, never losing her infectious smile or her ability to uplift those around her. Her journey ended after three days of fighting with her characteristic courage, leaving behind a legacy of love and resilience. A private funeral service will be held to honor Danielle's life and the incredible impact she had on those who knew her. Her family finds solace in knowing that she is now reunited with her parents and grandfather, watching over her family from above. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Danielle's name, to continue her legacy of love and generosity. Danielle Smith will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
