The Greenwood community is heartbroken over the tragic loss of Lakeria Fisher, a beloved graduate of Greenwood High School, whose life was cut far too short. Known for a radiant smile, generous spirit, and uplifting energy, Lakeria touched the lives of classmates, teachers, neighbors, and friends in ways that will never be forgotten.

Lakeria was not only a bright student but also a beacon of positivity. Whether it was offering a kind word in the hallways of Greenwood High or cheering on peers at school events, her presence brought comfort and joy. Friends recall her laughter as something you could hear before you saw her—and something you would carry with you long after.

Teachers remember Lakeria as a respectful, thoughtful young person who approached life with sincerity and a strong sense of empathy. Her ability to listen deeply and show compassion made her a natural friend to many and a quiet leader to all who knew her. She had a way of making others feel seen and valued—an extraordinary gift that left a lasting impression.

Outside of school, Lakeria remained deeply involved in her community. Whether it was through church activities, volunteering, or simply being someone others could count on, she gave of herself without hesitation. Her presence radiated warmth, and her heart was always open to those in need.

As we reflect on her life, we mourn not only what was lost, but the promise of what could have been. The Greenwood community grieves alongside Lakeria’s family, standing united in heartbreak and in love. It is never easy to say goodbye to someone so young, so full of light—but in remembering her, we keep that light alive.

To her family: Please know that the entire community wraps you in prayer, love, and strength. Your daughter, sister, cousin, and friend will forever be remembered with admiration, tenderness, and deep respect.

Lakeria Fisher’s legacy is not defined by the years she had, but by the lives she touched, the smiles she inspired, and the spirit she brought into every room. She will always be a part of Greenwood’s story—a cherished soul who reminded us what it meant to care, to laugh, and to love fully.

May we continue to honor her memory in how we treat one another and in how we carry forward her light.
