Mrs. Laneisha Shawana Lopez

Her Story: While many women spend a lifetime becoming the Proverbs 31 woman that God intended them to be, she was the walking epitome of just that. Whenever Laneisha Shawana Lopez walked into a room, her smiled transformed the atmosphere and her personality lit up any small hint of darkness. She didn’t have to talk about being the light. She simply was. And for those who experienced that light, their lives were forever changed. When Laneisha was born to Stephen and Kim Speights on December 2, 1976, they knew right away that she was a creative genius. At her young age, she often put on her own stage plays with her cousins and her Barbie dolls, complete with musical soundtracks and sound effects. Cultivating her love for writing and movies, even her make believe productions would leave family and friends on the edge of their seats. While attending her alma mater, Osborn High School, she chose to use her beautiful voice to encourage and uplift. In addition to singing in the choir all four years, she was also often called on to lead songs. That passion for singing in school led to her singing praise and worship in her church, Full Gospel Tabernacle, where she was saved at the age of 16. Those who knew Laneisha personally admired her bubbly personality, her breathtaking smile and her comedic giggles. In essence, it only made sense that she loved melodramas, soap operas and novels with series. It was during her time in high school where she met the love of her life, Adam. As her first real boyfriend, Laneisha was heartbroken when he left for the Navy and they lost touch. That was until 2007, when they were briefly reunited with each other. But circumstances again caused them to lose touch. Several years later in 2013, they were united again and Adam took full advantage of this opportunity. He had found his good thing and they were married on November 8, 2014. After graduating from Wayne County Community college with an Associates Degree in Business Administration, Laneisha went on to receive a BBA with a concentration in Computer Information Systems from Wayne State University. Little did they know at the time that their time together would be short lived. On September 29, 2018, Laneisha transitioned from this life to eternal gain, from labor to reward.
