Aariyona Lashai Smiley was born in Cincinnati; Ohio on October 12, 2011, the younger of two children to Kianna S. Spears and Aaron L. Smiley. Aariyona "Aari" was loved by everyone who came in contact with her. Aari was born as a premature baby weighing 1 pound and 9 ounces, which she had come a long way from birth. Aari had a SMILE that would brighten your day. Aari was the alarm clock for her family, which she loved to be around. She would wake everyone up with her talking and laughing each and every morning, and that will truly be missed. Aari loved to play with her big sister Alaijah, when her sister would come in the room and yell "hey Bookie butt" she would squirm and smile at her. She also loved to look at her mother talking to her and dancing with her she would just smile from ear to ear. Aariyona also had a little mean streak in her; if she did not want to do something she would jerk her body and look at you, as being in control. Then when you would say okay, you don't have to Aari she would then smile and look at you like I won this round as usual. Aariyona was a bright and gifted little girl who will truly be missed. She leaves to cherish her memories: Her mother Kianna Shamel Spears; father Aaron Lamont Smiley; sister Alaijah Renee Smiley; grandparents Alisha Spears Mimes (Christopher Sr.), Lisa Smiley, Tyrone Ferrell, Aaron Harris; great grandparents, Elaine Spears Sowell (Cornelius), Beverly Nelson, Julia Smiley, Lanora Harris; Aunts Courtney Gray, Telisha Smiley, Tyanna Shaw, Tynesha Johnson, Alena Ferrell; Uncles Andrell Banks, Desmond Mimes, Greg Smiley, Terry Willis and a host of cousins, other relatives, family and friends.
