Quinesha graduated from Statesville High School in Iredell County in 2012. At the time of her transition, Quinesha was a dedicated and faithful employee of Subway, Statesville, NC for 3 years. Previously, she was employed by McDonalds, Statesville, NC.

Quinesha accepted Jesus Christ at an early age. She joined Calvary Baptist Church, Union Grove, NC. However, she loved attending Clark’s Chapel Baptist Church with her grandparents, Gwen and Gene Lawrence. She participated in many activities there, including Children’s Church, VBS, Girl Scouts, and had an active role in one of the Christmas Nativity programs that were held at the church.

Until her death, Quinesha was very active at the PSR Clubhouse that she attended. There she learned healthy living and group interaction skills

Quinesha loved to cook. We always knew when she was getting ready to cook something because she would go Live on Facebook, cooking up her favorite meals or trying new recipes. If she didn’t post the cooking session, she would post what she cooked.

Quinesha was a die-hard Carolina Panthers fan, thereby attending many of the Panthers football games. Her last text to a family member, Grandma Gwen, was regarding the last Panthers football game that she would see on Sunday, October 16, 2022: “Hey Grandma, what’s going on with the Panthers this season?”

Quinesha was preceded in death by her maternal grand-mother, Sharon Osborne; paternal grand-father, Keith Melton; paternal great-grandmother, Fairy Sue Prince, who was 102 years old at the time of her death; great-aunt, Rachel Prince Anderson.
