Daija Dumas was born on June 8, 1988, to Julian and LaSonya Dumas in Long Beach, California.

She spent her life in Laguna Niguel, growing up alongside her younger siblings, Daivon and Danai. Daija attended Aliso Niguel High School, where she excelled in both cheerleading and track & field.

After graduating in 2006, Daija continued her education at Saddleback College, where she also participated in cheerleading and earned her Associate's Degree.

Following her graduation, Daija began her professional career in an administrative role with Moran & Company, a multi-family real estate company in Irvine, California.

In 2013, Daija's greatest joy arrived with the birth of her daughter, Dilyn Noelle. Dilyn quickly became the center of Daija's world, her guiding star and greatest source of pride.

Daija's pursuit of knowledge and professional growth led her back to school, where she earned her certification as a surgical technician in 2017. She dedicated a significant portion of her career to the Alicia Surgery Center, later transitioning to the Laguna Niguel Surgery Center.

Daija had a vibrant spirit and a zest for life. She loved creating cherished memories at Disneyland and the beach with Dilyn and family.

She also generously volunteered her time and energy to the Laguna Niguel Girls Softball league, serving on the board and supporting Dilyn's participation.

Daija possessed a personality that drew people to her. She was often the life of the party and cared deeply for her many friends and family members.

With her passing, Daija is welcomed by her Grandmother Joyce Dumas, Grandfather Donald Marks, Grandfather Claude Dumas, and Cousin Dorian Dumas.

She is survived by her daughter, Dilyn Dumas; mother, LaSonya Dumas; father, Julian Dumas; stepmother, Julie Dumas; siblings, Daivon Dumas, Danai Dumas, Erica Dumas, and Lyric Knowles; grandmothers, Louise Marks and Beverly Dumas; along with a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and cherished friends.

Daija will be remembered for her infectious laughter, unwavering loyalty, and her ability to make everyone around her feel loved and valued.
