Obituary of Chekita Sheree "Kita" Stevens

At the tender age of 34 years old, Chekita Sheree Stevens, heard God summon her to come home. She willingly answered the call on Sunday, October 28, 2018. Kita as she was affectionately called by family and friends was born in Wilmington, Delaware on October 23, 1984 to Mary (Stevens)Daniels and Kevin Carroll. She was loved for 24 years of her life by her Step-Father Glen Daniels AKA Dad Glen.

She took great pride in taking care of her health and responsibilities.  She enjoyed listening to music by Ella Mai, Amerie, Mary J.
