Shameka was affectionately known as Meka by her family and friends. She grew up on the Eastside of Wilmington, attended Christina Public Schools, and completed her education at Delaware Technical College. Meka was a loving spirit that enjoyed spending time with her children, mother, family, and close friends. She had a way of beaming with goodness and being someone her family and friends could count on for support, words of encouragement, and just to make you laugh. Outside of being a full caregiver for her children, Meka enjoyed the simple pleasure of life, including online shopping, styling her hair, and the many long conversations shared with her mother. She enjoyed music and especially listening to gospel music during her quiet time. Meka loved attending family functions, dancing, singing, laughing, and creating many memorable moments. The presence of her spirit left an indomitable impression on all. Meka will be missed but not forgotten.
