On April 14, 2025, Taniya Patrice Scott, often known as “Niya,” was called home peacefully. Our heavy hearts are uplifted by the memories of her charming smile, her courage, and her strength. She was an admirable mother, daughter, granddaughter, Niece, Sister, Big cousin, and friend who cherished family and friendship.
Taniya was born on January 2, 2003, to Marquise K. Bailey, who preceded her in death, and Shaunte P. Scott, who survives her. Taniya was raised in Norfolk, Virginia. She attended Norfolk Public Schools. She was blessed with a village that included a special cousin, Tiffany Brewster; a wonderful godmother, Sherrese Lambert; a bonus grandmother, Ann Lambert; a bonus aunt, Latoya Sexton; and a bonus uncle, Monterio Lambert.
She was survived by her daughter, Nova Scott (Joseph, Fiancé); maternal grandparents, Jacqueline Felton and Willie Scott (Lisa Faith); great-grandmother, Carolyn Chambers; three brothers, Trevon Scott, Terrance Scott, and Jermaine Fulford; and one sister, Jermyra Fulford. A loving great-aunt, Cecilia Winder (Trent); a caring aunt, Marquita Scott; special cousins/siblings, Quiana Scott, Antwan Howard, Jr., Demari Mclean, Jamari, Jakhi and Jakayli Brewster Cooke, and Braxx Seabron; paternal grandmother, Emma Jenkins; two brothers, Marquise Bailey, Jr., and Marquez Bailey; one sister, Diamond Bailey; one aunt, Meliqua Perry, and one uncle, Akeem Bailey, plus a host of loving, caring aunts, uncles, and cousins.
