Victoria "Tori" Smith

Victoria "Tori" Smith A Life Lived in Full Color Our vibrant, joyful Tori left this world on July 30, 2025, at the young age of 22, but not before lighting up every room she entered and touching countless hearts with her infectious energy and boundless love. How Tori Lived Tori didn't just live life – she celebrated it with authenticity and courage. She spoke her mind and wore her heart on her sleeve, never afraid to be exactly who she was. This beautiful confidence came from being raised by parents and loved ones who ensured she felt comfortable and free to speak her mind, giving her the freedom to try different things without judgment. Their unwavering support gave Tori a wonderful childhood and early adult life, creating the foundation for her to shine as her true self. Let Tori's freedom be a beacon to all young girls and women – find your voice, keep your voice, and make it heard always, because this world needs more of that courage and authenticity. From her early dedication to sports and cheer to her spirited years as a competitive cheerleader, Tori embodied determination, grace, and the beautiful art of lifting others up – literally and figuratively. She was unapologetically both a momma's girl and a daddy's girl, with a heart so huge it seemed impossible that one person could contain so much love. Her Greatest Gift True to her generous spirit, Tori chose to be an organ donor, giving others the precious gift of life even in her final moments. Through her selfless decision, her loving heart will continue to beat in a young child who needed it most. Her other organs along with her bright spirit will help others see the world anew, and her zest for life will live on in those she saved. It's the most Tori thing she could have done – finding a way to keep lifting people up, even now. The Family She Adored Tori is survived by her devoted mother, Carmen Smith; her loving father, Damon Smith; her cherished bonus mom, Cathy Smith; her beloved bonus dad, Christopher Smith; her brothers Dylan and Blake; her step-brothers Tyler (Kassandra) and Nicholas; her step-sister Camren; her nephew Bentley and niece Harper as well as many family members all who knew better than anyone how to make her laugh until her sides hurt. She was welcomed into Heaven by her Papa, who we know was waiting with open arms for his precious granddaughter.

She taught us to find celebration in the everyday, to love without reservation, and to always, always lift each other up. While our hearts are completely shattered, we find comfort knowing that somewhere, Tori is probably already "spilling the tea" with the angels, making them laugh, and turning Heaven into an even brighter place. Her light will never dim. Her love will never end. Her spirit will live on in every life she touched and every life she will save.
