Tashyrah Reid

Tashyrah Reid was a young woman whose life centered on family and the small joys of everyday life. Born November 24, 1997, in Lee County, Alabama, she is publicly recorded as the daughter of Betty Thomas and Bruce Reid and the mother of a daughter, MaKaylnn Reid. Family notices list many close relatives — siblings and grandparents — who stood around her during milestones and mourned her loss.

Friends and family remembered Tashyrah through the ordinary, meaningful details that make a life distinct: the role she played within a large family network, the special relationships named by her obituary notice, and the community who gathered to honor her with funeral services at Harris Funeral Home and interment at Westview Cemetery. Those services provided an opportunity for loved ones to celebrate her life, share memories, and support one another.

Public records and news reports confirm that Tashyrah was 19 at the time of her passing in September 2017. While some accounts focus on the circumstances surrounding her death, the available family and funeral notices emphasize the human side of her story — the parents, siblings, child, grandparents, and extended family who survive her and who remember her as a daughter and mother whose life mattered to many.

Though the public record about Tashyrah’s everyday interests, work, or ambitions is limited, the surviving details make clear that she was a real person rooted in family ties. This remembrance honors that reality: Tashyrah Reid was loved, named, and mourned by people close to her. Her daughter, parents, siblings, and extended family continue to carry her memory forward, gathering at her graveside and in their hearts to keep her among them.
