Ta'Nesha Dee Haywood

Ta’Nesha was born on March 8, 1996, in Brownwood, TX, to John Dee Haywood and Coretta Lynn Haywood (Neal). She graduated from Jarrell High School in 2015. After graduation, she stayed local and worked in retail, where she was promoted to a managerial position.

The youngest of four girls, Ta’Nesha took the spotlight from her sisters from the very beginning. She will be most remembered for her smile, one that could light up the room and provide comfort to all who needed it. She enjoyed being a dog mom to her Frenchie pups, King and Queenie.

She is survived by her parents; her grandmother Eunice “MeMa” Hastings; her sisters, Alexis and her wife, Milynda, Keshia, and Sierra. She also leaves behind her nephew, Jaxon, and her niece, Amaya, as well as many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins who will continue to cherish her memory. 

We know that Ta’Nesha would want us to recognize her best friend, Marlene Alcala, and her family for their unwavering support during this time. They were her second home and family.
