February 28, 1978 – May 15, 2078

Nia “Super Glam” Taylor, a multifaceted creative professional, educator, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner whose passions crossed industries and challenged conventional expectations, passed away at the age of 100.
Born in Orange, New Jersey, Nia lived in several places throughout her lifetime but always considered New York home. Her professional journey reflected her belief that no one should be limited to a single identity or career path.
Nia wore many hats throughout her life. She was a licensed cosmetologist, hair loss specialist, fashion and image stylist, content creator, and entrepreneur. Equally important was her career as a learning and development specialist, where she combined her passion for teaching with emerging technology as an AI-certified learning and development professional.
Although her roles varied, one purpose connected them all: helping people recognize their potential. Whether sharing beauty expertise, developing learning experiences, or encouraging someone to pursue a new opportunity, Nia found fulfillment in supporting the growth and success of others.
Her personal journey was equally transformative. As she grew older, Nia learned that caring deeply for others did not mean sacrificing her own identity. She embraced her creativity, challenged expectations, and discovered the importance of living authentically, even when others did not understand her choices.
Faith remained central to her life. Her relationship with God was deeply personal, guiding her through seasons of uncertainty, growth, and change. She believed His love remained constant, even when her path forward was unclear.
Known for her colorful personality, expressive style, and legendary appreciation for a bargain, Nia rarely considered a purchase without asking her signature question: “Is it on sale?” For her, a great deal was always worth celebrating.
Above all, Nia treasured her children. She hoped they would live fulfilling lives, embrace their individuality, and extend kindness and compassion to others.
Nia never wanted her passing to be defined by sadness. Instead, she hoped those who loved her would cherish their memories, continue discovering themselves, and embrace the possibilities ahead.
Her legacy was not measured by titles, possessions, or perfection, but by the lives she touched and the encouragement she offered others to become their most authentic selves.
