Hattie Powell

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Hattie Powell, who departed this world on May 30, 2026, due to a brain aneurysm in Syracuse, NY. Born on April 16, 1983, in Buffalo, New York, Hattie was a beacon of love and kindness, touching the lives of everyone she encountered. Hattie was a loving daughter to her predeceased parents, Beatrice and Christopher Powell Sr., and a devoted mother to her surviving children, Jaydia Young, Dynesha Young, and Zy'lik Powell. Her legacy continues through her cherished granddaughters, Jayonna Young, Rae'jour Clemons, and Danijah Jackson. She is survived by her siblings Glynda Jackson, Michael Ellis, Christina Powell (Mike), Malissa Jenkins (Emmanuel), Christopher Powell (Chantel), and Stephanie Powell (Germaine), as well as her bonus sister, Katoya Rheubottom. Hattie was also blessed with the companionship of her significant other, Julian, and the unwavering friendship of Stacy Burgess. Hattie’s family roots ran deep, and she was predeceased by her beloved sons, Nykim, Anthony, and Antwon Young, her nephew Daquarious Powell, and her brothers, Michael C. and Markeithus Powell, along with other dear family members. Yet, her spirit remains vibrant in the hearts of her surviving family members, including her children’s father, Dock Young, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever miss her warm presence. A proud product of Syracuse schools, Hattie dedicated her professional life to serving others, most recently as a cherished employee of the Comfort Inn Hotel. Her work was more than a job; it was a testament to her unwavering commitment to helping people, a passion that defined her life.
