D' ARIQA LEANNDRIS CYMONNE SEENEY-TILLMAN, was born the first child of Stephanie Cooper and the only child born to Harvey Lee Coles III on February 5, 1992 in Baltimore, MD. She was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System. She worked for numerous security companies over the last 15 years with her last position being at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
She was affectionately known as Dinky (which she hated to be called)., Lady, BIG DEE DEE and Lakia McClamey to some. D'Ariqa loved music, dancing and living life to the fullest like her mother taught her. She had a deep love for animals especially her doggie-son, Draco. Dee accomplished many things throughout her life, but her greatest accomplishment was being a mother to her three daughters: Jy'Ah (10), Ja'Kyah (8) and Kyleigh (7). In March 2016, she married the love of her life, Kent Tillman, who loved and cherished her through the good and the bad.
Anyone who was blessed to know Dee understood that she was full of energy and was extremely outspoken. She always spoke her mind with no regrets. She made it her business to be the life of the party wherever she went, whether there was an actual party or not. If there wasn't a party, she would make one!
To know her was to love her and if she knew you, she loved you.
D'Ariqa has reunited in Zion with her grandfathers, Derrick Lee Brown, Harvey Lee Coles Jr. and Calvin Cooper..
