Cyra Magby

With heartfelt reflection, we celebrate the life and mourn the passing of Cyra Magby, who left us too soon on June 11, 2024. Born on February 17, 2005, in Chicago, Illinois, Cyra was a beacon of compassion and humility, with a spirit that was captivating and infectious. Her father fondly referred to her as "Sue," a nickname that echoed with endearment and warmth. Cyra was the embodiment of love and loyalty, always putting her family first, and nurturing an exceptional bond with her baby brother, Carlton Jr.

Cyra led a life that was as vibrant as her personality. She was an accomplished honor student and a formidable presence on her high school basketball team, showing prowess both in academics and in sports. Off the court, Cyra found joy in gaming on her PS5, a testament to her competitive spirit. Her humility and dedication were an inspiration to all who knew her, and her heartwarming smile was a testament to her loving nature. Cyra's devotion to her faith was evident, having accepted Christ at an early age. As written in Proverbs 31:26, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue," Cyra lived out these words in her daily life, bringing love and kindness to all those around her.

Cyra is survived by her adoring parents, Erica Price and Carlton Magby, her loving siblings, Nya, Nyla, Cyla, Ca'mya, Carlton Jr., and Jaycon, her cherished grandmothers, Sheila Smith and Christana McKinley, along with their partners, James Walker and Joseph McKinley. She also leaves behind her uncles, Abdul Smith and Camaro Magby, her aunts, Raquel Smith, Rasheta Smith, and Bianca Walker, her special friend, Tiara Clifton, and her delightful nieces, Laila Cowans and Z'niliah Dickerson. She now joins her great grandmothers Catherine Smith-Taylor, Catherine Price, Marie Williams, Shirely Hawkins, and her grandfathers Charles Price and Robert Miles in eternal peace.

Though her physical presence is no longer among us, Cyra's spirit continues to inspire and guide us. We invite you to share your memories of Cyra and upload photos to the memorial page, a space for us to remember and honor the remarkable life she lived. In remembering Cyra, we do so with love, cherishing the time we had with her, and celebrating the profound impact she had on our lives.
