She was the beloved daughter of Trina Smith Whitehead and Michael, Sr.; sister of Michael, Jr., Talyha and Teasia; treasured granddaughter of Delarpa Smith, the late Aurgustus Nottingham and Kathy Whitehead; and dear niece of many.

Visitation will be held Friday, February 13, 2015 from 4 to 8 PM at the Ferfolia Funeral Home, 5386 Lee Road, Maple Heights, OH. Family and friends were invited to gather at The Church of The Lion of Judah Ministries, 15716 Broadway Ave., Maple Heights, OH. where funeral services were held on Saturday, February 14, 2015 at 10 AM.

NOTE: An 11 year old girl, her mother and Zuri Whitehead, a 2 month old girl, were on a couch downstairs when the mother fell asleep at about 3 AM Friday, February 6, 2015. The mother was awakened less than an hour later by her daughter, who was holding the badly injured infant. Apparently the 11 year old took the infant upstairs and when she returned downstairs, she woke her mother to tell her something was wrong with the baby. The infant was bleeding and her head was badly swollen. The 11 year old’s mother immediately called 911. Zuri was flown to a children’s trauma center in Cleveland, where she died during surgery.
