TATIANNA (TEE) WILLIAMS
September 16, 1972 — March 3, 2026
Tatianna "Tee" Williams, a beloved mother, grandmother, wife, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2026, after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. Born on September 16, 1972, in Warren, Michigan, Tee lived her life with resilience, grace, and an unwavering commitment to those she loved. She was 53 years old.
Tee was the cherished daughter of the late Amanda Williams, whose nurturing spirit Tee carried forward in her own life. She grew up in a family where love and laughter were abundant, values she instilled in her own children and grandchildren. Tee's journey through life was marked by her dedication to her family, her ability to bring joy to those around her, and her deep faith in the power of love.
In 1999, Tee married the love of her life, Clavin Smith, in a beautiful ceremony in Chicago. Together, they built a life that was rich with memories and adventures. Their home was always filled with warmth, welcoming friends and family with open arms. Clavin and Tee’s partnership was a testament to their love and commitment, a source of inspiration to all who knew them.
Tee is survived by her three children, Makiya Martin, Artis Martin, and Kayla Martin, who were the pride and joy of her life. She was a devoted mother who supported her children through life's challenges and triumphs, always encouraging them to pursue their dreams with passion and integrity.
As a grandmother, Tee adored her three grandchildren: Allen Hagan, Antwon Hagan, and Chanel Hagan. She found immense happiness in their laughter and took great pleasure in watching them grow. Her legacy of love, kindness, and generosity will live on through them.
Tee's life will be celebrated on March 12, 2026, at 2:41 PM at Faith Clinic Church, located at 12260 Camden Ave, Detroit, MI 48213. This service will be a time for family and friends to come together, honoring the beautiful life she led and the love she shared with all who knew her.
Tee's spirit will be remembered for her unwavering bravery, her infectious laughter, and her endless compassion. She touched the lives of many with her kindness and left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her family finds solace in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with her beloved mother, Amanda.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to a cancer charity of your choice, in Tee’s memory. Her fight against cancer was a testament to her strength and determination, and her family hopes to continue fighting for a cure in her honor.
Tatianna "Tee" Williams will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever illuminate the lives of those she has left behind. She will be remembered as a beacon of love and strength, her memory cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
