Tomaria Georgia

Langley- Turner

Tomaria Georgia Langley-Turner, affectionately known as "TuTu", of Hackensack, NJ, was born August 22, 1974 to Sandra "Boobie" Turner and Wallace Langley in Newark, NJ.

Tomaria received her elementary school education in the Newark Public School District. She attended Avon Avenue School and Louise A. Spencer School. After the passing of her parents, Tomaria relocated to Englewood, NJ where she resided with her maternal grandmother, Blanche Turner and attended Dwight Morrow High School.

In August of 2004, Tomaria's life was forever changed when she became a mother. The joys of her life were her daughters Samora and Summer. Being their mother meant the world to Tomaria. She loved her children with every fiber of her existence. No sacrifice was too great for her girls. Tomaria was also an intricate part of her cousins' life. Her cousin Rene's children, Rayvon, Lindell, Marqueese and Zakiyyah and their children were the apples of her eye. She was extremely proud of them and their bond was unbreakable.

Tomaria was a social butterfly. She absolutely loved people. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. If it were possible to split a penny she would make it happen. Tomaria's friends past and present have expressed that she opened her heart and home to them. Tomaria was a loyal friend and an amazingly beautiful soul. She cared deeply for her loved ones with a pure energy.

Tomaria loved to sing and dance. Music was the other love of her life. She would sing every note to every song or recite and spit a Hot 16. Monica's first album was one of her favorites. On Saturday mornings she would turn up the volume and vibe out while cleaning. To hear her tell it, Method Man was surely her husband. It's true. Her sense of humor was hilarious. Tomaria had the cutest laugh. With every line of this reminiscent rewind our "TuTu" is smiling and giggling right along with us all.

Tomaria began her Peaceful Journey to the arms of the Most High on May 15, 2023, at Hackensack University Medical Center. Her shining light, shy smile and infectious laughter will never be forgotten.

To cherish her memory, Tomaria leaves her two daughters, Samora and Summer Turner, special cousins, Rayvon Taylor and his children, Lindell Colas (Gess), Marqueese Taylor and his daughter, Zakiyyah Copeland Taylor and her son, Lisa Manago and her children, Tyra M. Swain, Chaz Oates, Godmother Diana "Jazzy" Boyd, Best Friends from Englewood, Hackensack and Newark, Goddaughters, and a host of relatives and friends.
