harlyn Tricia Mitchell Taitt was born in the beautiful twin island of Trinidad and Tobago on August 17, 1973. She grew up enjoying the celebrations of carnival, soca and calypso music in her native land - but had a keen appreciation for all music genres and was probably Michael Jackson’s biggest fan! A connoisseur of old movies, she absolutely loved watching just about anything on the Turner Classic Movies network. After marrying her love Tesfa, at an intimate wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 14, 2009, she gave birth to our son Liam a year later. It was her most joyful moment in her life. Sadly, 6 months later she was diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis (UC); a disease that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in her digestive tract. She dealt with this condition for 8 years and the days she wasn’t in constant pain, she devoted her life to taking care of her family and made us happy through her insatiable love for cooking. For the past decade she has battled serious medical ailments and received a devastating diagnosis of Stage 3 Leiomyosarcoma; an extremely rare form of cancer in 2018. Despite mounting health troubles and physical challenges, and various chemotherapy treatments, Sharlyn soldiered on. Complaints were few and far between. Her strength and perseverance through life altering illnesses and debilitating pain was truly remarkable. And though she and I felt that we never got to enjoy our marriage, cheated out of our “happily ever after”, and robbed out of motherhood, she spent her final time with us pouring her love into her husband and her son Liam. On Thursday, October 29, 2020 Sharlyn passed away peacefully at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA and went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 47 years. She fought for her life until the very end and I miss her, immensely. Predeceased by her father Rawlins, Sharlyn is survived by her loving husband of 11 years, Tesfa, their son Liam, her mother Yolande, and countless family and friends in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Caribbean.
