In Loving Memory of Ijah Se'lah Smith

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of our beloved sister, Ijah Se'lah Smith. On December 19, 2024, Ijah's life was senselessly cut short in a hit-and-run accident near a freeway in Yuma County, Arizona.

Ijah, a 34-year-old resident of Atlanta, Georgia, was a bright and caring individual who touched the lives of everyone she met. Despite struggling to cope with the loss of our mother to cancer, Ijah's kindness, intelligence, and generosity inspired those around her.
Her memory will live on through her siblings, Mellisha, Jahzeikel, Jahmiah, and Iffiyah, who will deeply miss her guidance, support, and unwavering love.

The Yuma County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Ijah's death. We are heartbroken and still grappling with the news of her passing as the suspect fled the scene and has not been found.

This GoFundMe page has been established to support our family during this incredibly difficult time. Your contributions will help cover funeral expenses, memorial services, and other related costs.

We are grateful for your love, support, and prayers as we navigate this unbearable loss. Ijah will forever be in our hearts, and we hope to honor her memory by celebrating her life and legacy.
