In the heart of a vibrant town, beneath the ever-changing sky lived a woman named, Trijuana Faye Grant. Also, known as our Queen. Her life’s a tapestry woven with threads of resilience, joy, and endless love. She left an indelible mark on the canvas of those who she once encountered and who were fortunate enough to share in her journey with a heart-felt smile on her face.
The Queen’s story unfolded on July 30, 1957, like the petals of a blooming flower. Born into the embrace of Hopkinsville, Kentucky to the late Robert and Dorothy Ella Brown. She accepted Christ at an early age and became a faithful member of First Street Baptist Church. She united in marriage to Thomas Grant on October 26, 2017.
Her garden blossomed when God blessed her life with her one and only angel, Shayla Janine Smith-Oldham.
She carried the warmth of the season throughout her life. Her signature melody echoed through the bustling streets, creating an aura of love that touched the hearts of all who knew her in their own special way. As the city’s rhythm played in the background. Trijuana Faye Grant, “The Queen”, found solace in the embrace of family and friends, shopping, watching her favorite shows such as Westerns and Young & The Restless, and talking on the phone.
