Our beloved Princess, Navaeh Nicole Neely, was born October 24, 2011 in Forsyth County, North Carolina; and was the daughter of Brittany N. Neely. Navaeh departed her earthly life on Thursday, April 2, 2026. She was with us for only fourteen years, but we find comfort in knowing that she is resting in the Arms of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. With heavy hearts we mourn Navaeh, but we understand she is in a better place.

Navaeh attended the West Rowan Middle School, in Salisbury, North Carolina as an eighth grader. She enjoyed dancing, listening to music, watching the YouTube channel, water, her PHONE, and spending time with family and friends.

She was preceded in death, by a brother, Messiah Cowan.

Navaeh's memory will forever remain in the hearts of her family. She is survived by mother, Brittany N. Neely of Salisbury, North Carolina; two brothers: Malachi Parks and Da'london Cowan, both of Salisbury, North Carolina; three sisters: Amoni Parks, Dream Cowan and Dynasty Cowan, all of Salisbury, North Carolina; grandparents: Jessie (Jacquelyn) Dalton, of Mocksville, North Carolina, Melissa Neely, of Salisbury, North Carolina, Stacie Spease of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Sonya Torrence of Salisbury, North Carolina; great grandmothers: Shirley Dalton and Joyce Neely; aunts: Jessica Dalton, Shay Spease, Mariah Glenn, and Brianna Stevenson; uncles: Preston Dalton, Jay Dalton, Antwond Glenn, Ta'mar Stevenson-Dalton, and Karleem Stevenson; a host of cousins and friends.

"Goodnight "Navaeh", may you rest in Peace. We will meet again".
