She was born in Denver Colorado on October 23, 1981. She moved to Des Moines, Iowa for a brief time before making Columbia Missouri her permanent residence. She attended many public schools in Columbia and became an entrepreneur. She owned her own cleaning business, working with both local residents and businesses. She loved working with the community and being around people, but not more than she loved her six kids. Her six children: Markees (22) Taurean (18), Tyrah (16), Re’ionna (15), Rockheil (13), TiAnna (12). She loved attending all her children’s sporting and school events, and could not have been prouder of each of them. She received multiple awards regarding being involved and the “best parent”. Although she had five biological children, she was a mother to many of the kids in the community providing extra love, shelter, food, guidance and helped keep kids in the community out of trouble. Her love did not stop with her kids, she was also very fond of her big Suburban's - mostly so that she was able to fit her kids and friends. She would light up any room that she walked into and was a very humble but funny woman with open arms to anyone that needed her.
