Kaliah Spence, who departed this world on April 6th, 2025, was born on June 9th, 2000, in Baltimore, MD. She was the cherished eldest daughter of Tonia Tyson and Keefe Spence.

Her positivity and infectious laughter left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Despite any challenges she faced, Kaliah remained a beacon of happiness, always smiling and spreading joy to those around her. Her life, though brief, was filled with love and laughter, and she touched the hearts of many with her unwavering optimism and kindness.

Though her time with us was far too short, her impact will be felt for generations to come. Her memory will forever be cherished by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Kaliah will not be alone on her journey to heaven, where she will be greeted by her mother Tonia, her aunt Portia Crooks, and cousin Jermaine, who will all be welcoming her home.
