“May God give you and all whom you love His comfort and His peace, His light and His joy, in this world and the next; and the blessing of God almighty, the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you this day and forever. Amen.”

Shayla Tameka Booker was born on December 13, 1978 in San Antonio, Texas to the late Thelma Booker and Retired Air Force Senior Master Sargent Wilbert D. Booker, Jr. She departed from this life on Saturday, April 22, 2023.

Shayla attended and graduated from Tucson High Magnet School and attended Pima Community College. Her professional career consisted of various occupations including marketing, telemarketing, digital technology, cosmetology and entrepreneurship. Shayla was also employed by the state of Arizona for several years. She was a loving mother, daughter, granddaughter, fiancée, sister, aunt, niece and dear friend.

Although very talented and creative, Shayla’s greatest accomplishment was being an exceptional, loving and supportive mother. She was so proud to be a mom and adored her beautiful children. Delijah, Seniya and Jasceon were the nucleus of her universe. She did everything possible to ensure unconditional love and security for her kids. She instilled great values, taught them to be kind and respectable and always stressed the importance of proper behavior. Shayla’s presence will truly be missed but her teachings and guidance will live on in her children.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Thelma Booker, sister, Monica Dowling, maternal grandmother, Lelia Gibson and grandfather Vernon Roach, Sr, paternal grandfather Wilbert D. Booker, Sr. Shayla will be lovingly remembered by her devoted father, Wilber D. Booker, Jr., her fiancée, Jason Guerrero, three beautiful children, daughters Delijah Reyes and Seniya Booker, and son Jasceon Guerrero, brother Donny Booker of Norman, Oklahoma, paternal grandmother Hattie A. Booker of Baton Rouge, LA, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
