Some people live life, but Omeka Ellis Scott multiplied it.

On February 25, 1975, Denise and Gaston Ellis welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. Raised in the Bronx, New York, Omeka grew up alongside her two older brothers and her sister, grounded in strength, shaped by independence, and full of life.

She attended and graduated from New York City public schools and went on to pursue higher education in college, where she developed discipline, focus, and resilience. Omeka moved with intention, carrying a work ethic that remained consistent in everything she did.

She carried that same discipline into the workforce, entering the healthcare field as a CNA, where she cared for others with patience and compassion. Omeka had a natural ability to nurture at the heart level, offering comfort and dignity to those in her care. It was a reflection of who she was, a steady, giving spirit that would later shape how she taught and guided others. To know Omeka is to understand that love guided her life.

From 1995, they were together, building a bond defined by loyalty, history, and commitment. From the very beginning, it was love at first sight, and he knew without a doubt she would be his wife. He could not wait to say “I do.” Marcus was more than her husband. He was her purpose partner, her best friend, her kingdom spouse. And she was his everything. Together, they went on to multiply the earth with twelve amazing children.

God ordered her steps in 1995, leading her to the love of her life, Marcus Scott. As teenagers, what began as young love quickly took hold. What first caught his attention was her fierce walk, her enchanting bow legs, and the way she carried herself. She was his “Sweets,” and 31 years later, her walk never left his mind or heart.

Omeka was the proud and devoted mother of twelve beautiful children: Kymon, Deon, Taejaha, Naseem, Tesean, Sade, Natalia, Shyla, Layla, Neko, Ace, and Ocean. Her children were her world, and she poured into them daily with love, guidance, and protection that will continue to live through each of them.

Even in the simplest moments, she created lasting traditions. Birthdays were never just birthdays, they were memories. They sang happy birthday her way, a remix only she could lead, hearing her voice rise above the room, calling out “Remix!” at the top of her lungs. It was joy, laughter, and love that will stay with them always.

Later in life, she became a homeschool teacher to her children, leading with structure, patience, and care. She approached it with the same discipline and nurturing spirit that defined every part of her life. At the same time, Omeka embraced her creative side as an artist and poet, someone who loved capturing moments and turning them into lasting memories. She was creative by nature, a gardener, and a woman who found joy in creating with her hands, whether through crochet or cultivating the beauty around her.

She also stepped confidently into her role as an entrepreneur, helping to build her husband’s trucking company from the ground up. She created the logo, managed operations, and made sure everything ran with structure and intention. She also ran her own hair salon, carrying that same level of care and precision into everything she did. If Omeka was involved, it was going to be done right. A modern day Superwoman.

Her reach extended far beyond her home. Omeka created a Facebook A.I. community that grew into a powerful platform, bringing together thousands, especially Black women, to learn and step into new opportunities. The group, “Black Woman in AI,” reflected her vision and impact. She was paid by Facebook for the platform she built and went on to create several additional groups, always finding ways to connect, teach, and empower others.

Omeka had a gift for bringing people together. Her cooking was unforgettable, with her fried chicken, lasagna, and macaroni salad known by many. She opened her home on holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, where family, laughter, and love were always present. She loved family and she loved to create. She enjoyed making southern and comfort food that people looked forward to, and her food won the hearts of many!

On March 31, 2026, God called Omeka home to Heaven. Her presence and legacy continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She was preceded in death by her father, grandmother, and two aunts.

Omeka leaves behind her devoted husband, Marcus Scott (NY); her beloved children, Kymon, Deon, Taejaha, Naseem, Tesean, Sade, Natalia, Shyla, Layla, Neko, Ace, and Ocean; her granddaughter, Ni’Lah Ellis (NY); her loving mother, Denise Ellis (VA); her brothers, Gaston Ellis (VA) and Lajaune Ellis (VA); her sister, Kimberly Ellis (VA); her mother in law, Lolette Mighty (NY); her father in law, Navaro Scott (NY); her sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends, along with her Facebook community, whose lives she touched deeply.

Omeka was, and will always be, an angel on earth.
