Domenique D Gordon

On April 30, 1997, Domenique Gordon was born to Joseph K. Gordon and Luann F. Gordon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was the oldest of two children and spent her formative years, as a dancer; ballet and tap were her specialties. As she grew into a young woman and began high school at Woodland Hills, Domenique was a flutist and played percussion in the high school band. In addition, Domenique was an outstanding volleyball and softball player which she continued for many years. She graduated from Woodland Hills Senior High School in June 2005. Second Baptist Church (Homestead, PA) was her church home and her involvement at church led her to participate in several different activities such as youth choir and youth ministries. Domenique enrolled at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design and Pan-African Studies. During her junior year, one of her many adventures and volunteerism experiences occurred where she spent part of her summer aiding families that were devastated by the effects of Hurricane Katrina. Her love for art, drawing, design, technique, and education led her to Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio. While living in Ohio, Domenique was an integral part of two interior design firms, JOANN Fabrics and Decorilla, where she gained experience, knowledge, and various job opportunities. As she pursued new ventures, Domenique moved to Chesapeake, Virginia in the winter of 2018. She readily accepted a position at the Dollar Tree/ Family Dollar working for their corporate headquarters. During her time in Virginia, Domenique reconnected with several friends including her fiance', Milton H. Williams, Jr. The couple was engaged on New Years Day in 2019 and were expecting their first child in October 2020. On Tuesday, August 18, 2020, Domenique Gordon departed this life and was preceded in death by her beautiful daughter. Domenique and Milton lovingly named her Zuriya Leigh Williams several months before her estimate due date. Domenique leaves to mourn her passing and cherished memories to her parents, Joseph and Luanne Gordon, her brother, Kennedy F. Gordon, her fiance', Milton H. Williams, Jr., her two grandmothers, Mrs. Natalie Jeanette Gordon and Mrs. A. Louise Franklin, a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, other relatives, and close friends. She will be missed dearly.
