She later moved to Northern California where she attended San Jose State before returning to Bakersfield to attended Federico Beauty College.

Felicia was well liked and known throughout Bakersfield and Canton, GA for her wild and crazy humor, antics and youthful sprit. She shared comical childhood stories on E.18th Street that would bring the past and present together making everyone laugh and smile. Felicia enjoyed cooking for her family; shopping and watching movies. She loved to go on the roads with husband Dion; have morning coffee with Alexis; long conversations with Nicholas; and try out new restaurants and get her nails done with Aaliyah, but most importantly, Felicia took pride in having three responsible, smart and intelligent, children who she loved dearly and was very proud of.

On January 6, 2018 at the age of 57, Felicia ascended from this world to join her mother and father, brother’s, Choice and Johnnie who preceded her in life.

Felicia’s exuberant personality, warm heart, delicious home cooked meals; maternal love, and friendship will be missed daily and never forgotten.
