DeNiqua Sh'Von Huddleston

DeNiqua Sh'Von Huddleston, 26, of Jackson, passed away Saturday, June 13, 2020, at her home in Jackson.  She had experienced seizures the past several years.

DeNiqua was born August 14, 1993, in Kennett, Missouri, to DeWande Marie Huddleston and Cornell D. Braxton I.  She was a 2012 graduate of Jackson High School.

She was in a long-term, loving relationship with her soulmate, Sherrod Willis of Jackson, and they share one daughter, D'Mia LaShay Willis.

DeNiqua was an active member of Calvary United Pentecostal Church in Jackson, where she rededicated her life to Christ and helped with the church's food drive.  She was formerly a member of New Horizon Missionary Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau, also the church of her baptism.  

For DeNiqua, it was "family first".  She loved her family with everything she had.  She was an energetic mother and wonderful provider for D'Mia; a devoted daughter and a protective, encouraging sister.  She was beautiful inside and out, had a magnetic personality, was confident, strong, and had a smile that could light up a room.   

She was proud to be part of the custodial staff at Jackson R-2 Jr. High School.  She previously worked at Imo's, Walmart, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken in Jackson, and Taco Bell in Cape Girardeau.

Braxton II of Columbia, Missouri, DeMarcus Robinson of Hayti, Missouri, Briana Braxton of Southhaven, Mississippi, Neisha Fisher of Kansas City, Missouri, Ariel D.
