On April 28, 1994, a beautiful, baby girl was born to Johnny Taylor, Jr., and Tamara Frazier. At an early age, Markeesha was baptized by the late Dr. Ben W. Noble at Antioch Baptist Church.
Markeesha came into this world with a vibrant spirit and a caring heart. She enjoyed school and always had an open mind to learn new things. She attended school during her early development in Florida before moving to Muskogee in the sixth grade.
Markeesha attended Benjamin Franklin Science Academy, Alice Robertson Middle School and Muskogee High School. After school, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia. She had a beautiful soul and touched the lives of many through her lifetime. Although her life was cut short, she was able to live it to the fullest, savoring and cherishing every moment. Markeesha loved modeling, children, fashion and enjoyed car shows with her father. She was a confident, independent young woman who was ready for what the world had to offer. Markeesha was a true Diva, always charging her styles, no matter the style she chose, she always looked good. She was upbeat, with a positive attitude. She had so much love to give; her smile would light up a room and her laughter would make you smile. She will be truly missed.
