In Loving Memory of

Tajza Michelle Nalls Guyton

It is with profound sadness and loving remembrance, we celebrate the life of Tajza Michelle Nalls Guyton, whose beautiful spirit touched the lives of all who knew and loved her.

Tajza received her early education at Northview Heights Elementary School before transferring to Clayton Middle School.  She attended Perry Academy from 1999 to 2000 and later transferred to Oliver High School in 2001, where she proudly graduated in 2002.

Tajza and Jeffery were united in marriage on May 24, 2020. They shared seven years together and celebrated six years of marriage.

Throughout her life, Tajza was dedicated to helping others. She became a Certified Massage Therapist and a Certified Nurse's Assistant.  Her caring nature, compassion, and warm heart were evident in everything she did.

One of God's greatest gifts to Tajza was her beloved and only son, Khalil Robert McWilliams (Nalls), who was truly the sunshine of her life. The bond between Tajza and Khalil was extraordinary. Their relationship was filled with unconditional love, laughter, and devotion, creating memories that will forever be treasured.

Family meant everything to Tajza. Her brother,  Avi'd "Vido" Nalls, was her big brother, her hero, and one of the greatest loves of her life. She also shared a special bond with her sister, Deione Nalls, whom she loved dearly.  She shared special moments with her brother David Nalls Jr who left us too soon in life.  The other pea in the pod with Tajza was her Godsister Faith Lauren Mudd.  The bond of their relationship is glued together by the memories they made together.  She had several faithful friends including the special relationships she had with her cousins Terika Swanson and Patrice Garnett.

Tajza was the precious daughter of Roberta "Bobbi" Lee, who lovingly called her daughter her sweet one, her Shaba, and her heart.  Roberta cherished Tajza's beautiful laugh and radiant smile, which could brighten any room and bring joy to everyone around her.  Mom will hold the chapters of Tajza's life tucked deep in her heart.

She enjoyed many hobbies and passions. Tajza loved drawing, listening to good music, watching movies and her favorite television shows, styling her hair, glamourizing herself, and capturing life's moments through plenty of photographs shared on social media.  She embraced life with creativity, beauty, and joy.

Tajza was embraced by her husband and deeply loved by grandparents Robert and Gloria Lee, grandmother Juanita Morgan, mom, son, brothers, sisters,  aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends. Her presence was a blessing, and the love she shared with family and friends is everlasting.

Though her physical presence is no longer with us, Tajza's love, laughter, beautiful smile, and the memories she created will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

Tajza was preceded in death by her father, David Nalls, brother David Jr; grandfather David Nalls Sr; grandparents Robert Lee Sr and Gloria Elaine Lee; Keith and Stacey Lee.  She is survived by her husband Jeffrey Guyton; son Khalil McWilliams; Mother Roberta Lee; brother Avi'd Edward Nalls; sisters Deione Nalls and Faith Lauren Mudd.

She will be dearly missed by her aunties and uncles Cheryl, Michelle, Robert (Michele), Pam (Pastor Terry), Gary Sr. (Linda), Melanie and Syl-Jean, and Great Aunt Pat Garnett, her first cousins Monrayelle (Grover), Cecily, Eyona (Antonio), Terika, Terry Shawn, Gary Jr.(Chayonna), Quentin (Zakiya), Tori, Darren,  Patrice, Robert, Candace, and Darryl; and a host of second and third generation nieces and nephews; cousins, extended family and faithful friends.

Forever loved, forever remembered, forever missed.
