Smith, 53, and one of her students, 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez, were killed at North Park Elementary School in the April 10 shooting.

Cedric Anderson, also 53, then fatally shot himself, without saying a word. Nolan Brandy, 9, was also injured in the shooting.

Smith will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Covina.
