Brittaney Tashay Manuel

On the evening of February 25th 2025, Flight-33 safely touched down at the Palace of Heaven, bringing precious cargo, Brittaney Tashay Manuel. Born to Daphny Jackson and her biological father, Rodney Burton, Brittaney was lovingly raised by her mother, Daphny Jackson and dad, Broderick Johnson. She was also blessed with a bonus father, Cory Jackson. Brittaney pursued her education with dedication and proudly earned her high school diploma from Life Skills Center. Subsequently, she attended Fortis Technical College for Cosmetology. Above all, she was a mother who, despite life’s challenges, deeply loved her children, VanDarius and Sh'Nyah. They were her greatest source of joy and pride, and her love for them was unwavering. Brittaney also had a heart for family. At family events or gatherings, while others sat back to relax, she could always be found breaking the kitchen down, taking the trash out, simply cleaning up. She made sure everything was put back in place, often staying until the very end to ensure everything was as it should be. Her spirit love, and selflessness will forever be remembered and will live on through her children and those who knew her. She is preceded in death by her beloved sister, Brandi Johnson; her paternal grandmother, Wanda Whittington; her maternal grandfather, Bobby Manuel; and her uncle, Donovan Manuel.
