Obituary of Tiatesha Marie Holliday
Tiatesha Marie Holliday or “Tee” as she was affectionately known by her family and friends was born on April 23, 1983, in Monroe, Michigan. She was the daughter of Franklin Holliday and Jennifer Harris-Rocker. Tee attended Monroe High School in Monroe, Michigan.
A beautiful person on the inside and outside, Tee was the life of the party wherever she went. She loved spending time with her family and friends, but most importantly her children. Tee enjoyed dancing, playing cards, and bowling. When she wasn’t tearing up the dance floor she most likely was knocking down pins at the Monroe Sport Center, or quite possibly trying her hand at a game of spades.
Tiatesha “Tee” Marie Holliday, age 40, of Monroe passed away unexpectedly on Sunday; June 4, 2023 at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital. Her passing was preceded by a nephew: Darris “DJ” Stokes; a grandfather: “Doc” (Luvina) Monroe; a grandmother: Almus Clark; and many other family members.
To cherish her memory she leaves her four children: Ronald Roberts, Ayonah Jones, De’Angelo Gates, and Kortez Gates all of Monroe; her mother: Jennifer Love Harris-Rocker (Cliff); her father: Franklin Holliday; four sisters: LaVonna Davis, Crystal Jackson, Ashley Bolden, and Jerica Stokes (Kabrel Bridgeforth); three brothers: Jesse McIntosh, Stephen Isaac, and Tyrone Stokes (Raevin Pfefferle); nine nieces; fifteen nephews; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins including Demerlyn Isaac and Crystal Hood.
