In loving memory. From Sis. Parris Deason (Eastern Star)

What a personality, you can take from that and write a book if you knew Zakia. She will be missed, to her precious children, your mother left you a roadmap.   Zakia had many stops on the road of life, she left you both a nugget of love at each one and a formula and spirit of how to get it done.  Take it each day and keep the memory of her love and hard work as you continue on the road of life.

She was always thinking about here family.

Zakiyyah was a shining Bright Star . Her essence twinkled brightly when she entered a room. You could Feel her presence. She loved her children dearly, my last text from her on November 24th . I will share as a photo. Rest in Peace and love ❤️. Your work here on Earth is done. To the Family: Stay strong in Love . Peace be to you all .

Our LRCH c/o ‘89 reunion 🐯🖤💛…such a sweetheart ❤️

We were all home for the funeral of another family member. This is at our brother Na'im, house. The children were playing a game, and we found out they were betting for money!!! It was a great time where all the siblings and cousins were together!! ❤️❤️

My sisters...from youngest to oldest. Na'imah, Rafee'a, and Zakiyyah.

Most of the family cousins of Zakiyyah from Mother's side of the family.

My sisters, Zakiyyah, Na'imah, and Rafee’a. Also, my sister-in-law, LaRae (R.I.P.), and my cousins LaTahsha and Shanelle.

Our mother (Margaret Jones) oldest Granddaughter Zakiyyah- Gone too soon but will forever be in our hearts ❤️🙏🏽

We are with many of our cousins on my Father's side of the family in this photo.  Zakiyyah probably wouldn't admire this picture (given she was barely a teenager), but she would appreciate what the picture means to her Great Grandfather (R.I.L.) and the rest of her family in here.

My sister and I had gone out after a Thanksgiving dinner in Atlanta.  She made me get us to VIP, which I did. Then, in walks T.I. I started freaking out, because I'm a HUGE fan of his. My sister then grabbed my face and got me together. She was always the BIG SISTER!!! We had soo much fun that night, and we came back home telling everyone and keeping everyone awake with our story!! That entire night was one to remember.

Love you, girl!!!

My Mother, my big sister, Zakiyyah, my older brother, Hakim, and me!! This picture is kept at my Grandmother's house and I've always cherished this photo.
