In Loving Memory

LaWanda Taylor aka Lil Bit, Coco, and Coke
January 18, 1978 — September 2, 2026
In loving memory of LaWanda Taylor, who graced this world with her presence on January 18, 1978, in Fort Worth, Texas, and peacefully departed on September 2, 2026. LaWanda's journey was one filled with love, laughter, and adventure, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to have known her.
LaWanda graduated with pride from Trimble Technical High School in the Class of 1996 and furthered her education at a Trucking School, paving the way for a successful career. Her dedication and passion were evident in her over 25 years of service as a professional commercial driver. Her current employment was with LSI company. Her colleagues remember her as a reliable and spirited worker and her love for the people she met along the way.
With her own personal relationship with Christ, she attended worship services at her local church in Dallas, TX. LaWanda's faith was a guiding light in her life. Her vibrant spirit shone brightly through her passions for music, comedy, movies, and traveling. She found joy in the thrill of motorcycles and the classic elegance of old-school cars. LaWanda lived life to the fullest, and her adventurous soul was a beacon of joy to her family and friends.
LaWanda was predeceased by her father, RD Centers, whose memory she cherished deeply. She leaves behind a loving family, including her cherished mother, Martha Taylor, and her beloved sisters, LaShardon Mose (Taylor), Katrina Centers, Pamela Gray, Rhonda Gray, Lena Bailey, and Tina Bailey. LaWanda's extended family and many friends will remember her warmth, laughter, and the love she shared so generously.
A celebration of LaWanda's life will take place on September 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the House of Serenity Funerals & Cremations, located at 4725 Vermont Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76115. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of a beautiful soul who touched so many lives.
In honoring LaWanda's memory, the family kindly suggests donations to a charity of your choice, reflecting her spirit of giving and compassion.
The family shares this special message of comfort: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 English Standard Version.
LaWanda Taylor will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love, laughter, and adventure will continue to inspire all who knew her. May she rest in peace.
