Victoria Smith

Victoria Smith-Morrow was born on August 10, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Jack Smith and Beulah Kingsburg Smith.
 

She attended John Marshall High School, where her vibrant personality and lively spirit were evident to all who knew her. Affectionately known as “Vicky,” she was truly the life of the party—a “Stepping Queen” whose humor, energy, and joy were unmatched. She had a special gift for making people laugh and feel welcome wherever she went. And if you ever caught her dancing, you already know—Vicky was convinced she was Michael Jackson himself! Whether she was stepping, spinning, or attempting that signature moonwalk, she brought laughter and joy to every room and left everyone smiling.
 

She shared a deep and cherished bond with her grandchildren, loving each of them beyond measure. Victoria took great pride in nurturing, guiding, and caring for them, always ensuring they felt seen, special and truly loved. She created countless unforgettable memories filled with laughter, wisdom, warmth, and joyous moments that will forever live on in their hearts. Through her kind words, comforting hugs, and simply her presence, she had a unique way of making every grandchild feel like they were all her favorite. Her beloved Grandchildren-Jakael, Michael Jr.,Nayomi, Erianna, Eliyah,Eriyah, McKenzie, Amari, Kemariya, Josh, and Desiree will carry her love with them always.
 

Victoria also held a special place in her heart for her beloved Aunts and Uncle. She took great pride in caring for 
her elder Aunts, always stepping in wherever she was needed. Her kindness, compassion, and sense of responsibility reflected the deep love she had for her family, and she gave of herself selflessly to ensure they were supported and cared for.
 

Victoria accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and, in recent years, renewed her personal relationship with Him on March 2, 2014, under the leadership of Reverend Ray Williams at Kingdom Baptist Church. Through her faith, she found peace, strength, and spiritual renewal.
 

Victoria met the love of her life, Douglas Morrow, and they were united in marriage on August 1, 1992. From this loving union, four beautiful children were born.
 

Victoria was a devoted and loving mother to her children: McKenzie Morrow, Sylvana Morrow, and Douglas Morrow Jr. Her love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was unwavering, and she found her greatest joy in being surrounded by family and friends.
 

She peacefully departed this life on April 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving children and devoted family.
 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Beulah Smith; her beloved husband, Douglas Morrow; her son, Nathan Smith; her granddaughter, Erika Dandridge; her grandson, Breon Washington; and her lifelong friend, Willie Mack.
