It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Zoey Allen, a beloved and bright 13-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina. Zoey was a vibrant soul with a contagious smile and a zest for life. She brought joy to all who knew her and will be deeply missed by her friends, classmates, and community. Zoey's curiosity and passion for learning were evident in everything she did, and her kindness and compassion touched the hearts of everyone she met. Though she may be gone too soon, her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know her. Rest in peace, dear Zoey. Zoey’s favorite thing to do was try an make people smile! Even a random stranger she would waltz up an find a way to make them smile if she thought they were having a bad day! God gained an angel!
