Makaya showed a passion for music and art at a very young age and carried it with her throughout her life, finding a love for dancing and performing with the color guard at her high school, and continuing into adulthood dancing and singing along with her daughter Jazzy and Trinity Gospel worship team. With a radiant smile and an infectious laugh she could always brighten the day with a quote from a funny movie or silly pop culture T.V. show. You couldn't be in her presence without smiling and laughing.
