Delores Nanelle Tillett

“It must have been cold there in my shadow to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way; you always walked a step behind.  So, I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful face without a name for so long, a beautiful smile to hide the pain. Did you ever know that you're my hero? And everything I would like to be, I can fly higher than an eagle, for you are the wind beneath my wings”

Delores Nanelle Tillett entered eternal rest on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Hertford Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Hertford, North Carolina.  She was the daughter of the late Earl Tillett, Sr and the late Audrey Roberson Tillett.

She leaves to cherish her memories one daughter, Angel Nittaya Sawyer; one granddaughter, Mariah Lynae Walton; two nieces, Juvanda Crutch and Tammy Tillett; two special friends, Lisa Taylor and April Rhodes and a host of cousins and friends.

A Memorial Service will be Friday, July 18, 2025, 2:00 p.m. at Beach Funeral Home Chapel, Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
