Please Bless the McDonald Family

Hi my name is Marissa and I’m honored to write this for my sister Tameka Watkins-McDonald. A woman whose heart was charitable, generous, altruistic, selfless and a mother to all. She was a phenomenal wife, a mother of three talented boys, a daughter, a sister to five, a cousin, an aunt, a friend and the ultimate team mom.

Tameka was a philanthropist. She unselfishly donated her time, experience, skills, and most importantly love into being a team mom. Her passion was to care, nurture, develop, inspire and motivate children. For over a decade she humbly accepted the duties, projects and tasks of being a team mom for: Lake Elsinore Thunder, High Desert Storm, Hesperia Trojans, Inland Valley Wildcats Track, Rise n Fly Track, Winner Circle Athletics, Premier Knights, High Praises Worship Center, and her final assignment that she loved dearly Mater Dei.

Tameka was a dedicated employee in the management field at Wal-Mart for 16 years. She retired to pursue her duties in being a full time mother to her 3 boys.

Tameka would sacrifice her all, to give to whomever in need, without a second thought. She was life. Her laughter was infectious. Her voice, her screams and cheering for her sports teams will be deeply missed by us all.

On October 21, 2023, Tameka gained her wings and went to be in her heavenly home. Her transition was sudden and unexpected from a massive heart attack. Her dedicated wonderful husband of 19 years Charles McDonald II and children Elijah, Charles III, and Pryce are trying to manage, cope and live through this difficult time. She was the backbone to her family. She was their anchor, she held them down.

Being a mother to her children and the kids who graced her path was her greatest fulfillment in life.

Any and all money donated will help secure interim expenses. If you would like to donate, prayerfully do so. No amount is too small. If you are unable to donate, you can still leave your love and cheerful comments for the family.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill.
