LaZaria Cole was born in Akron, Ohio to Le’Zonn Gervins and Derrick Roberson.  She attended Akron and Cleveland public schools. La’Zaria was a smart girl who made good grades almost effortlessly. She was such a joy to be around and she loved to dance very creatively. She was able to draw almost anything. She was always smiling and happy to be around her brothers. She loved taking pictures and always singing and rapping. She was such a sweet girl, whose desire was to be a basketball player.

La’Zaria had a little voice but a big personality. She liked to cook and watch cooking shows. She also loved watching Disney and Lifetime movies.

Those are a few of the things that she will always be remembered for, but most of all, she’ll be remembered because of who she was to all of us. She showed love, and she was the essence of love. She was a wonderful child who was always giving and was always there for others.
