Sariya Lee Ann Marie Taylor

HEAVEN’S ANGELS delivered Sa’Riya LeeAnn Marie Taylor her wings, swiftly on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. Those who affectionately knew and loved her called her “Red”.

Sa’Riya’s birth on Thursday, January 17, 2013, was a blessing to her parents, Shatera Taylor and Ja’Nei Brightwell. From the very beginning, they knew that Red was destined to be special.  Her vibrant personality was a source of joy for all whom she encountered.

Red was a great “Big Sister” and she enjoyed hanging out at the swimming pool with her lil brother and sister.  She loved to cheer and dance; and she would do TikTok all day long. Braiding Hair, Drawing and Calling out “Bingo” on her favorite cars were  passions of Sa’Riya’s and she was excellent at each task.  She was a student at Fairmoor Elementary school, where she completed the third grade.

Sa’Riya’s life was just beginning.  She was full of potential and had such a bright future ahead of her.  She accomplished more in her short nine years with her bubbly personality than many accomplish in an average life-span.

Sa’Riya (Red) was preceded in death by great grandmothers, Katherine Evans and Ivra Brightwell, great-great grandmother, Francita Taylor and cousin, Amir Hawkins.
