With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Zakiyyah, a kind and vibrant soul who touched the lives of everyone she met. Born into a family of nine siblings, Zakiyyah was a source of love, laughter, and strength for her family and friends. She passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, generosity, and an unshakable spirit.

Zakiyyah was more than just a sister—she was a confidante, a protector, and a best friend to her siblings, always bringing joy to their lives with her infectious laughter and compassionate heart. Her ability to make people feel seen and valued was a rare gift, one that she shared freely with everyone around her.

She was known for her kind nature and her willingness to go out of her way to help others. Whether it was a shoulder to lean on, a word of encouragement, or simply her presence, Zakiyyah had a way of making others feel at ease and supported.

Her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to know her. Zakiyyah’s memory will forever be cherished, and the impact of her kindness and love will be felt for generations to come.

She leaves behind her loving family, including her eight siblings, who will forever hold her close in their hearts. Though her time with us was far too short, the love she shared and the joy she brought into the world will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Zakiyyah. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Your light will continue to shine in the lives of all who knew you.
