Sasha Kamala McWilliams of Studio City, California, passed away on August 17, 2025, at the age of
47. Born on February 20, 1978, Sasha exemplified a life rich with love, creativity, and dedication.

Sasha was preceded in death by her son, paternal grandparents, Henry Fitzroy Stephen and
Nelda Patricia DaSilva; maternal grandparents, Pertab Singh and Agnes Singh; her brother, Baby
boy Stephen; and her father-in-law, Richard McWilliams, Sr.
Sasha was a spirited individual whose passions encompassed a variety of interests. She had a deep
love for music and photography, often capturing the beauty of moments that would otherwise go
unnoticed. Her adventurous soul found joy in traveling, exploring new cultures, and making
cherished memories along the way. At home, she thrived in her role as a dedicated homemaker,
taking delight in decorating her home, cooking delicious meals, and making candles that filled her
home with warmth and light.
Sasha is survived by her beloved husband, Rasheed McWilliams, and her devoted parents, Terrence
and Pamela Stephen. She leaves behind her sister, Kezia Johnson, along with brothers-in-law
Richard McWilliams, Jr., Derrick Young and Craig Dooley; sisters-in-law, Corleone McWilliams and
Daniele Dooley; as well as a host of nieces and nephews including Alan Dixon, Toshiba Dixon,
Veronica Dixon, Adrian Dooley-McWilliams, Kamal Johnson, Kimani McWilliams, Collin Dooley,
Jonathan Young, and Tezyah Young; mother-in-law, Diana McWilliams; and she is remembered
fondly by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives she touched.
Her faith was a cornerstone of her life; Sasha was a devout woman whose love for God and family
shone brightly. She cherished her family deeply and took great pride in being a loving presence in
the lives of her best friends, Gia Casey and Raashaun Casey, and godchildren: Daiquan Starr, Kaim
Welcher, Madison Casey, Logan Casey, London Casey, Jaxon Casey, Brooklyn Casey, Peyton
Casey, Christopher White, and Skylar Allicock.
Sasha Kamala McWilliams' indomitable spirit, her love for family and her passions, and her
unwavering faith will live on in all of us who were blessed to share in her life. Funeral services will be
