Shay was a member of Greater New Hope Baptist Church of Columbus, Georgia. She was a faithful servant and was always willing to give her time. She was a loving mother, daughter, God mother, sister, and friend. She was a kind, free-hearted spirit. It was always a joy to be in her presence. Shay’s smile would light up any room she walked in, and she never met a stranger.
She leaves to cherish her memories: a loving son, Rayson Jeremiah Walker; parents, Rev. Marc A. Walker Sr. and Vickie Walker of Phenix City, AL; four brothers, James A. Morris Jr. (Takela), of Smith Station, AL, Terrell Murray (Sheena) of Florida, Marc Walker Jr. (Kayla) of Columbus, GA, Marquez Walker (Shantaye) of Columbus, GA; a sister, KeyKey Crabbe (Renee) of Maryland and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will miss her dearly.
Shayla appreciated what her father taught her; Working like it all depends on her and praying like it all depends on God.
