LASHAWNÉ NICOLE LEE

LaShawné Nicole Lee departed this life suddenly on November 2, 2023.  LaShawné was born on February 7, 1980, in Akron, Ohio to the late Anthony Johnson and Patricia Lee.

LaShawné came into this world fighting at 2lbs 15oz and 15 inches long. When the Doctors gave a negative report, LaShawné had other plans and with the help of God and her Grandmother, she proved them wrong.

LaShawné was the first everything! The first grandchild, the first granddaughter, the firstborn child, the first niece, the first big cousin, and the first sister. When it came to Family titles, LaShawné handed them out her way! You weren’t just her cousin, you were her sister, brother, niece, or nephew. LaShawné carried her title well!

LaShawné brought into this world three beautiful children, Malik, Montrell, and Say-Onna. She always ensured her children were well cared for and she gave them the best of everything. Not only did she take care of her children, but she also made sure everyone she loved was straight. If you needed anything, LaShawné got it! Money, cars, clothes, food, a place to stay, a good laugh and especially love…  “LaShawné got it.”

LaShawné was definitely “That Girl!” She was not only the life of the party, she was the party! ‘She was loved by everyone she met. LaShawné’s heart was pure golden, and she wanted everyone to win. LaShawné gave so much of herself to everyone. The only things she wanted in return were:

Respect

Loyalty

Call her on her birthday (not a day sooner and definitely not a day late)

The most important was to say and spell her name right!

LASHAWNÉ NICOLE LEE

No more fly hairstyles, fancy clothes, and “Smokey!” as her Grandmother Margie would say. To know LaShawné was to love her and love her and love her.
