Ta'Shya Michelle Jay

Ta’Shya Michelle Jay, 11, was the daughter of Shandreka Michelle Jay and Terrance Brunson.  She was born September 19, 2009 at Prisma Health Baptist Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina.  On Wednesday evening, June 9, 2021, God added another angel to His heavenly choir.

Ta’Shya was a rising 5th grader at Batesburg-Leesville Elementary School.  She had a very big heart and never met a stranger.  She was a TikTok queen, constantly making videos.  She was very photogenic and never shy in front of the camera.  She and her baby sister, A’Kia had a very special bond that can never be broken.
