TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- It was a sad day as family and friends of 4-year-old Harmoni Williams, who passed away from a tragic house fire on February 28, gathered at Celebrate New Life Tabernacle to honor her life.

Everyone who knew 4-year-old Harmoni Williams says she was a vibrant little girl.

Harmoni's Aunt, Tameka Roney, says, "You never saw her without a smile. I mean, you hear a lot of people say that, but this was an actual child that always, all teeth, everything. And if she wasn't smiling, she was posing for the camera."

"Miss Boo", as she was lovingly known, was born in Tallahassee. Her aunt says she possessed tons of charisma. 

Roney adds, "So active, so hyper, always jumping around and talking. Her favorite store was the Walmart. Auntie Meka Aunti Meka, I bet you don't know where I got this from, the Walmart!"

Harmoni is leaving happy memories in everyone's hearts. Stories of her dancing, posing for pictures, and singing along to her favorite song from the movie Frozen fill the air. 

Her family says, she had an unending love for her little sister, Zori, mother, Shantura, and her grandparents who she called, MeMa and PaPa. 

Loved ones of Harmoni Williams say she was filled with joy and always smiling.

That's how they're remembering her as they celebrate her life at Saturday's memorial service, or as the family is calling it, Princess Harmoni's Homegoing Celebration.

Harmoni attended Mabry Head Start. She was at the top of her class. Her teachers spoke at the service, saying she was very outspoken and lovable. Harmoni's attitude was to spread happiness and love to everyone.

It's clear from Saturday's service how much everyone loved her back.

Harmoni's family member, Lacresha Harris, says, "She has tremendous amounts of family that loves her. So, we're all going to dearly miss her."
