     Growing up “Poowoo” took the role as a big sister very serious. She is the eldest
daughter and took pride in taking care of her siblings. She protected them and did
whatever was necessary to make sure they were taken care of alongside her mom. In
that same essence she was an amazing mother. In her children, she instilled a value for
education, good morals, and encouraged delightful spirits.

     Suffering from cancer is a vile fate, but she met it with a determination to fight each day.
Her fight against cancer didn't diminish who she was. We witnessed her strength, her
excitement for life, and her drive to remain victorious for her children. She leaves
behind an amazing legacy in her three children. Each with their own separate
personalities that she cherished and invested into daily. She has molded them to be the
next generation of success while also instilling the importance of love and family.
Suleshia was a fun spirited soul who took on many passions. Outside of work she
enjoyed traveling, movies, hair, make-up, being surrounded by her best friends and most
of all recreational time with her kids. “Poowoo” was a jokester of the family that fought
till the end. She was known for saying “Naw Now” at the craziest moments. No one
could make you feel as special as “Pooda” could. She would compliment you in a way
that made you feel as if you were the finest thing walking. She had so many roles in our
family. The banker, the hairstylist, the cook, the comedian, the guardian. She cannot be
replaced.
     “Pooda” was truly a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile and eyes were so
stunning, they would light up the whole room. She cared deeply for the people around
her. She was so kind and passionate. Suleshia made an impact on MANY lives and truly
enjoyed uplifting others! She will forever be loved and she will forever be missed.
