young girl and was baptized at New Sunny Mount Missionary Baptist
Church under the direction of Reverend Donald Hunter. As a New

Voices of Victory Choir from the age of three until she was a young
adult. When asked, she would give an impromptu welcome to
visitors…always speaking from the heart.
Briana was the mother of three beautiful children; Zion, Brailyn and
Legend, who shared her warm smile and witty sense of humor. She
was devoted to her children’s sports activities of soccer and football
and was always on the sidelines cheering them on. Before her passing
she was able to take her children to Walt Disney World which will be a
memory they will cherish forever. Her children meant everything to her
and they will miss her dearly.
