Tierra Taylor

Tierra LaShawn Taylor, a resident of Richmond VA, passed after a short battle with COVID-19 on September 11, 2021, at the age of 30. She was a graduate of Highland Springs High School and later began her career with T-Force (formerly known as UPS). Pursuing her entrepreneurial spirit, she co-founded “The Prissy Experience” and founded “The T Spa” which were both passions she held dearly to her heart. Her love for the holistic approach of self-care and studying natural herbs sparked many of her personal and professional interests.

In addition to pursuing her many passions, Tierra valued quality time with family and friends. She was all about traveling and creating new memories and family traditions that would be remembered for years. She especially adored her son, Omari, and took every opportunity to plan something fun or educational for him (whether he liked it or not). Any person who knew Tierra would agree that she was always the encouraging person you needed in life and was the one to go to when you wanted to brain-storm ideas for a new project, or simply needed a listening ear.

Tierra was preceded in death by both her maternal and paternal grandmothers Cynthia Jeffries and Brenda Mitchell. Tierra is survived by her parents Wanda James (Clint James) and Curtis Taylor (Renata Taylor); her long-time companion Omar White; her son Omari White; her grandfather Earl Jeffries Sr. (Vanessa Jeffries); her great grandmothers Josephine Taylor and Julia Jeffries; her brothers Montavius Spates and Denzel Spates; her sister Mo’Nasia Pittman; her aunts Shantell Taylor and Sharon Lumpkin; her uncles Trevino Mitchell, Taje Mitchell, Illuminato Taylor, and Earl Jeffries Jr. (Taundwa Jeffries); A devoted friend Erika Thompson; a bonus family, the Spates family; and a host of other loving family members and friends.

Her memorial will be held Monday, September 20, 2021 at 1pm at Osborne Park and Boat Landing, 9530 Osborne Tnpk, Richmond VA 23231.
