Shayla's obituary

Shayla Lynae Curts, 22, of Kansas City, MO, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 6th 2022.  Shayla was the victim of a violent crime.

Shayla was predeceased by her father, Kenny Berry.  She passed away with her unborn daughter, Soleil.  She is survived by her two children,  Mars 4 and Winter 10 months, her mother Dezirae and stepfather Angelo, her sister Sydnee and her two brothers Leo and Brenden,  her aunts Darcie, Danielle, Deena and Nikki, and her cousins who were like brothers to her,  Reese, Jalen, Gavin and Asher and her grandparents Leesa, John, and Joi.

Shayla was an extremely talented artist with a love for anything expressionist.  She lit up every room she walked into with her charismatic free spirit and eclectic personality.  She had a comical and lively sense of humor making fun in any situation.  She made her friends and family laugh everyday.  She was giving, loving and she cared for everyone she met!  She would often help people she didn't even know.  Shayla will be missed tremendously by all who knew and loved her.  Her friends and family will keep her memory alive through all the beautiful memories she left behind. 

In lieu of flowers,  donations to the Gofundme that is set up for Dezirae to help with memorial services and costs she will have caring for her grandchildren Mars and Winter would be appreciated.
