Kadeejia was a "devoted" daughter to her Mother and LOVED to shop. She will be well remembered for her infectious smile. She was very talented and abundantly gifted. Her many talents included but not limited to making and creating unique outfits for special occasions, her family and friends. She had a special gift and a vision to create "one of a kind" presents all made out of money. Her talent to sew she shared with the young ladies of the Girls Club of Wilmington, teaching them to sew, as well as the importance of etiquette and charm in their lives. Kadeejia spent precious moments of her time with her ladies group "Ladies of Leisure" (LOL)
