She also continued her educational studies at Southwest Tennessee Community College.

Chasity, also known as ‘Little Turkey,’ ‘Chaddy Waddy,’ and ‘Chaz,’ was known for her beautiful smile, leadership skills, sense of humor, style, and undying love for her families and friends. She loved to cook, (her specialty was lasagna,) cosmetology, and fashion. She moved to Houston, TX, in 2015, with her sister, Ashley, and best friend Donisha, where she worked at Alliance RX.

Chasity leaves to cherish her memory, her loving parents, Jimmy and Shirley Martin; one sister, Ashley Nichole Martin; one grandmother, Earnestine Martin; a best friend, Donisha McCrumb; one special friend, Charles Jackson; her beloved doggie, Minnie Pearl, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, families, and friends.

We will all miss our ‘baby girl!’

Looking back on the memories of the dance we shared ‘neath the stars above.

For a moment, all the world was right. How could I have known that you’d ever say goodbye, and now, I’m glad I didn’t know the way it all would end, the way it all would go.

Our lives are better left to chance. I could have missed the pain, but I’d had to miss the dance.

Psalm 23: 1-6

The LORD is my Shepard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou prepares a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

We know that life is just a vapor and time is not promised to anyone, but we must be prepared for times like these, which are never, never fun.

My journey on earth has ended although my time with you was brief.

Be comforted by the Father who bringscomfort to your relief. Love one another and enjoy as time goes on,because one day we are here and the next we are gone.
