N’ala Wallace was born July 31, 1997 in Saginaw, Michigan, the daughter of Deeanglia Wallace and Curtis Barnes. She was the first girl of five siblings.
N'ala was a funny, loveable person, who always extended help to anyone in need. She was a strong believer in faith and always read the word of God for instruction. Singing was her passion, and she did what was best for the greater good of all.
N'ala loved her family and made sure they knew it daily. She was a daddy’s girl and stayed at her granny’s feet, gaining wisdom whenever she could. She was a sweet soul that left a lasting impression on all she met. Her sense of humor was a gift that changed the world around her and laughter was her medicine. Nala will surely be missed by many.
N’ala was preceded in death by her grandfather, Joseph Henderson; great-grandparents, James and Christine Barnes; great-aunts, Willie Jane Thomason, Leedora Barnes; great-uncles, Clarence and Willie James Barnes; cousins, Bessie Mae Joshua, Willie Dawson, Demarlon Thomas, Alan “Shane” Hutson, Deshawn “Tony” Joshua and Deandre Stewart.
