Obituary For Nia Smith
Beloved daughter and mother, Nia Simone Smith was born on April 13, 1998, to Kimberly Gory Glenn of Pacolet, SC and Reginald Lewis Smith (Charity) of Jonesville, SC. She grew up attending Union County Schools where she loved being an active part of the Yellow Jacket community and was a member of the Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball teams, the track team, the Beta Club, and Future Business Leaders of America. She also became a licensed cosmetologist through her hard work at school.
Nia furthered her education after high school and received both an associate degree and bachelor’s degree from USC Union in 2019. During her time there, she was crowned Miss USC Union Palmetto College.
Nia became a licensed insurance agent after graduation and was most recently employed at Carolina Foothills Family Credit Union where she recently became a Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor.
In addition to her parents, Nia leaves behind three beautiful children—Nylah, Elijah, and Novah—and their father, D’Garyan Jeter. She has also created special memories with her God-sisters—Jazman Shelton Jaydin(Lydia), Whitney Shelton Anderson (Terence), India Spears, Melanie Thomas, and Di’Aundrea Thomas, two “special” sisters—Porsha and Summer Foggie, her adoring maternal grandparents—Nathaniel and Rosa Gory, and her sweet paternal grandmother Lizzie Mae Smith, a host of loving aunts and uncles, countless cousins, and innumerable friends.
Nia was a beautiful soul, full of light, life, and wisdom. She loved deeply and passionately. Though she is gone from her loved ones too soon, her family will take comfort in knowing that weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at The Worship Center, Roebuck, SC. Burial will be in the Cedargrove Baptist Church Cemetery, Jonesville, SC.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a Smith-Jeter Scholarship Fund at Carolina Foothills Credit Union where Nia worked.

Kim and Reggie. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. She was so beautiful. Her résumé is certainly one that any parent should be proud of. She was equally as beautiful as you are Kim. She was well equipped with yours and Reggie's gifts. The love of sports and intelligence. I know that many tears are going to be shed. Not only by the two of you as parents. But a community that we love and her touch of her life that she shared with many. Kim , Reggie. A beautiful job you guys did with helping to structure her way. Hold true to your faith. Someday. God promised that pain and suffering will end. As you hold on to her radiant smiles, past laughter and her children. Her life,legacy, and her compassion and love for each of you will forever live.
Michelle and Reggie Woodson

To The Family members of My Niece Nia Simone, Although there's a vacant space in your heart right now, try to remember there is a real hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones. At John 5:28, and the A part of 29 it says...Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out. Until that day keep Praising God (Jehovah) and the Father, of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God. And think about it God is the Creator of life. Love Aunt Hazel and Uncle Victor
