Martina MCGIVENS

Martina Shereese McGivens was born September 26, 1984 to Marvin Lee Wells and Cheryl Ann McGivens. Named in part after her father, Martina was a Daddy’s Girl in every sense of the word, and very much loved, cherished and protected by her mother Cheryl.

Affectionately known as Tee Tee, she loved riding the bumper cars and rollercoasters at Kings Island, especially the Twin Racers and Vortex. She was a fan of scary movies and music—her favorite artists were Toni Braxton, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Prince. Tee Tee absolutely loved lipstick, nail polish and all those things that made a girl feel like a Princess.

Bravely and diligently fighting to overcome a brain infection, Martina was called Home to be with the Lord on June 8, 2016. She was greeted at the gates by her Grandmother, Eva Wells and Great-Grandmother, Daisy Mae Davis, both of whom preceded her in going Home to be with the Lord. Our Princess now adds a pair of wings to match her lovely crown.

Martina leaves to cherish her memory- her father Marvin, mother Cheryl, older brother Gary, Grandparents Robert and Christine McGivens, Uncles Deris and Steven Wells, Aunts Kimberly Wells, Karen, Jacqueline, Teresa and Necole McGivens. First Cousins Deris Wells, Derrick Williams, Jermaine, Durrell and Deszerae Turner, Steven, Stephanie, Shanae and Stephon Green, Sade Andrews, Keyonna Cox, Zachery McGivens, Christina Lewis, Tosha, Jieasa, and Isaiah McGivens and Simone Kelly. Also to celebrate Martina’s beautiful memory is an abundance of second cousins, great uncles, aunts and friends she made while working through the Easter Seals program.
