Obituary of Zh'Reyah Ann Marie Winford

Beneath the grand tapestry of the cosmos, where stars twinkle with the secrets of the universe, a bright young comet named Princess Zh’Re Winford has completed her earthly orbit far too soon.

On March 9, 2024, at the tender age of nine. She took flight from Saint Paul, Minnesota, to explore the great beyond, leaving a trail of stardust in her wake. Born in the wintery chill of December 12, 2014, at Unity Hospital in Fridley, MN. Her arrival was akin to the first snowflake gracing the world with its unique pattern. Zh’Reyah, the name that danced off the tongues of those who adored her, was synonymous with joy, a touch of mischief, and a brilliance that could outshine the Northern Lights. A master of giggles and a connoisseur of play. Princess Zh’Re redefined the royal duties to include expert-level hide-and-seek strategies, the crafting of mud pies fit for a queen, and the ability to find wonder in the mundane. Her kingdom extended to all the hearts she conquered with her cheeky grin and her boundless curiosity.

Her royal court of loved ones includes her Mother, Dynasty Reed; her Father, Byron Winford II; her Step-Knight in shining armor, Kurtis; and her loyal band of Sibling squires—Zhkiyah, Kurlani, Gramdmaree, Zhadyn, Zhdai, Zhkai. The queen Grandmothers, Gladys Reed and Kenya Berry, and the King grandfathers, John Taylor and Byron Winford, join the ensemble, along with a merry band of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Sage Tutors.

A celebration of Princess Zh’Re's grand adventure will be held on Friday, the twelfth of April, in the year 2024, at the stately halls of Spielman Mortuary, located at 344 University Ave W, in the kingdom of St. Paul, Minnesota. Mirth and memories shall be our companions as we bid a playful adieu.

In lieu of dragon's gold, contributions to the treasure chest of memories can be made in Princess Zh’Re's honor to [venmo-@Zhreway]. Let her spirit of playfulness echo in acts of kindness and smiles shared. The jesters and stewards at Spielman Mortuary stand ready to orchestrate a farewell befitting a princess, ensuring that her tale of merriment and light lives on, not just in whispered legends, but in the laughter that lingers in the air, long after her final curtain call.
