Lincoln Memorial Cemetery 

Treeshay Lakey Taylor affectionately called “Tree” was born June 14th, 1974 in Houston Texas. Her father was in the Army, and this allowed her to have a diverse upbringing traveling all over the country and even spent some years in Germany. She resided in Washington DC. 

Treeshay loved people from all walks of life and could strike up a conversation with anyone and went out of her way to make others smile. She would always compliment even those she saw in passing and she had an uncanny way of always finding something kind to say about everyone she encountered. I admired her strength, it was rare when you saw her down because she always looked at things in a positive light, finding a solution to problems and moving forward. She had a love for animals and for years she took care of various pets both dogs and cats when her lifestyle permitted. She had an incredible work ethic. She always showed up often times working other people’s shifts, overtime, and holidays.

 She spent over 20 years working in healthcare. She recently worked for Inova Hospital as a Specialist Tech. Her co-workers described her as irreplaceable, kind, and always reliable. She lived her life to the fullest. She loved her family and spent time always visiting her aunts, uncles, and countless cousins who lived in Virginia and Texas. Most importantly, Treeshay was a giver. She would always volunteer to help and would give what she could whether it was monetary or her service to others which was invaluable. She had a vibrant life of the party spirit and an infectious smile. I can still hear her laughter.

She leaves behind her beloved mother and father, Carolyn Dunham & Ronnie Dunham. Her Sister-Cousin whom she was raised with Shantelle Twine and (husband Donald Twine), her nieces/cousins Elyse Payne & Brianna Toloza,  Aunts- Debora Mckinney, Jacqueline McFarland who passed, Christine G. Larson, Sharon McFarland all of Houston Texas, First cousins- Birts, Verniss, Edward, Redney, Sharon, Margaret, Mechelle and Crystal. She is remembered dearly by her good friend Eugene, other close friends Andrew, Brian, Derrick, and her wonderful co-worker and friend Miss Gladys. May my sister Rest In Peace with God by her side.
