Tameila S. Dixon

Tameila Shyrae Dixon was born July 4, 1991 in Youngstown, Ohio to Sylvia Starkey and Thomas Dixon. She went home to be with the Lord on December 27, 2019.

Tameila was an amazing person with a beautiful spirit. She had a smile that could brighten anyone’s day, and a contagious laugh that would make even the saddest person smile. She loved anyone she came in contact with. She was known as the turn up queen and the life of the party. She enjoyed laughing and spending time with her friends and family. No matter how you were feeling, when she laughed, you laughed.

Tameila lived her life unapologetically and definitely on the edge, but that’s what made her special. You couldn’t tell her nothing and she always had a thousand different slogans she would say. She made sure she celebrated her life while she was here, now it’s our turn to celebrate for her as she transitions.
