May 26, 1975 – October 10, 2026

It is with profound sorrow and tender love that we announce the passing of our beloved

Larissa Lea Sayles, who departed this life on October 10, 2026, at the age of 51.

Larissa was a remarkable woman whose presence was impossible to overlook and

whose absence will be deeply felt. Strong, independent, and full of heart, she had a way

of bringing warmth and energy wherever she went. Her laughter was contagious, her

smile was unforgettable, and her spirit could brighten even the hardest day.

Above all, Larissa was a devoted mother. Her children were among the greatest joys of

her life, and she loved them with a fierce, unconditional love. She gave them her

strength, her encouragement, her wisdom, and countless memories that they will carry

with them always.

Music was one of Larissa’s greatest passions. She had a beautiful voice like an angel,

and when she sang, she shared a piece of her soul. Music brought her joy, comfort, and

freedom, and her love of it became part of the memories she created with those around

her. Her voice may be silent now, but the beauty of her song will continue to live in the

hearts of everyone who heard her.

Larissa was preceded in death by her beloved grandmothers, Lula B. Smith and Hazel

R. More Hicks, and her loving mother, Anita Renel Sayles.

Larissa leaves to cherish her memory her loving father, Johnny M. Johnson; her

beloved siblings, Tikia Sayles, Ronjadele, Tena Davis, and Ernest Williams; and her

cherished children: her son, Isaac Brownridge (Angelique), and her daughters, Jasmine

Sayles, and Chantelle Wallace.

Her precious grandchildren, Myah, Isaac Jr., Princeton, Christopher, Uriah, Cattleya,

and Sayora’Kavari. Each of them will carry the warmth of their grandmother’s love, the

sound of her laughter, and the memories she gave them throughout their lives.

Larissa also leaves behind extended family members, relatives, and dear friends who

were touched by her kindness, encouraged by her strength, and blessed by her

presence. Every person who shared time with her carries a special memory of the joy,

love, and light she brought into the world.

Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

May she rest peacefully in eternal love.
