Skycha R. Herridge Mdeiway, age 50, of Dalton, Georgia, departed this life Thursday, January 13, 2022 in Dalton.
Skycha was born Feb. 6, 1971 in Dallas, Texas. She was a graduate of Walhalla High School in South Carolina and attended college and various trade schools for a short period of time. She became a resident of the north Georgia area in the early 90s where she gave birth to her two sons and was a stay-at-home mother for many years. Skycha was most recently employed as a bookkeeper for Weems Engineering and also helped her husband with their dog collar and apparel business, Sky Dog Boutique.
Skycha made a special connection with every person she came into contact with. She was a bright light to those around her and brought a “sparkle” to everyday life.
Skycha is survived by her parents, David and Donna Koehn Herridge, as well as her husband, Razek Mdeiway; sons, Salim (Shelby) Mdeiway, Christian (Veronica) Elliott; sister, Crissi (Eddie) Hairston; a soon to be grandson, Liam Mdeiway and granddaughter, Violet Shelhorse; and nieces, Macie Higdon and Felicia Rhaine.
Service to celebrate the life of Skycha will be held Wednesday, Jan. 19, at 11 a.m. at Ponders Melrose Chapel with Pastor Bruce Beach officiating.
The family will receive friends Tuesday, Jan. 18, at Ponders Melrose Chapel from 4-8 p.m.
