One of God's sweetest angels, Jaliyah Ikja Mason, was born on June 23, 2010, to Shereice Walker and Davonte Mason. She was then called back home to be with the Lord on May 20, 2026. Jaliyah lived her life to the fullest for fabulous 15 years!

Jaliyah was baptized at an early age at God's Mission of Faith. She was currently a rising 10th grader at Dinwiddie High School, actively seeking ways on how she could accelerate her education to be a NICU nurse by age 21. Jaliyah had really big dreams she knew she could accomplish. She was a devoted employee at the Croaker's Spot. She loved the finer things in life and spending your money and hers. She treasured her family, friends and siblings with all her heart. She loved wholeheartedly and embraced everyone who showed her love in return. No matter where she went, her courageous smile and warm presence would light up any room she walked in.

Jaliyah was preceded in death by her great-great grandparents, Ralph Morris and Clara Morris and Gladys Gregory; great grandmothers, Angerina Hailes and Martha Barnes Jones; uncle, Robert Walker, Jr. and her aunt, Wanda McCrae.
