Davita had so many talents such as singing, dancing, and rapping. Whenever she stepped in the room, she always had to make herself known. Her smile and laugh were everything. Mommy lived her life; whatever she wanted to do, she did! She loved to travel and shop.
Davita was so giving and loving. She is so loved and has so many friends and family members. To know her is to love her. If you gave her a “fat joke” then you better know how to crack because she coming for you.
Davita was always the life of any party. She’s going to make sure she has fun. She loved her grandbabies so much.

I am still in disbelief, it’s been a rough week. I keep playing back in my head our last hours of your visit here in Charlotte. I don’t understand what could of happened, when you left me. You were like a mother to me. 23 years ago when I moved to Columbus fresh out of high school I had no one, not a clue about life. BUT GOD sent me an Angel, you took me under your wing and showed me the ropes. I met my husband Courtney and you laughed and said you’re going to marry him. I said no I’m not. Your love was genuine and unconditional. Your smile was so vibrant and so confident. You always made something out of nothing and you were the life of every party. You lived every day like it was your last. I could go on and on. I’m thankful that God allowed our paths to cross and I had the chance to see you before you left this Earth. I will cherish all of our great memories, which you loved making. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. I can’t wait to celebrate you Tuesday and when I get sad I will just think about your smile and how many lives you have touched. Gone but never forgotten. I love you Vita!
Prayers for the Stokes family may you have peace and comfort and memories of the good times you have had. Peace be still ❤️

I am still in shock and speechless, I just saw that smile just a few days on your Instagram page …. My condolences go out to the siblings, children and everyone who loved Vita, because I know there is a hole in your life and heart
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and close friend of Davita aka Surpiz. I had the pleasure of meeting her many years ago through both of my brothers. One of which she was married to. We had hung out many time over the years and it was always a good time when she was around. She matched my energy because it’s all about having fun and creating memories. The last time I saw her was nothing but laughs. I pray that the good lord above comforts those close to you and they find peace in it. You will be missed by all that were blessed to know you.
Wishing you peace and strength during this difficult time. Vita was so full of life and it’s hard to believe that’s she gone. We will truly miss her, She was a loyal worker and customer.
My Condolences and prayers are with the family, i am so sorry
