Beautiful, compassionate, sincere, and loving are just a few of the
adjectives that have been used to describe Keisha Michelle MacDonald. While
these words accurately describe the beauty and spirit of such an amazing
individual, they do not fully encompass the essence of Keisha and what she meant
to all of those who knew and loved her. Keisha was simply a star.
This dream to
become a star arose in Keisha as a young girl growing up in the small town of
Lake Odessa, Michigan. Keisha wanted to be famous and aspired at some point to
live in California. Her extraordinary beauty led to a career in modeling at the
age of twelve, in which
Keisha
embarked
on a
journey
to
transform
the
dream of
stardom
into a
reality.
This
brought
Keisha
in front
of the
camera
and onto
runways
at an
early
age.
Upon
graduating
from
Lakewood
High
School,
Keisha
enrolled
at
Lansing
Community
College
while
she
continued
to
pursue
her
dream of
becoming
a famous
model.
Tragically,
Keisha
was
killed
in an
automobile
accident
on
February
20, 2007
before
her
dreams
were to
be
realized.
On the
very day
that
Keisha
was
taken
from
this world,
Keisha’s
modeling
agent
was in
New York
negotiating
contracts
with
agencies
in Asia
and New
York
that
would
have
made
Keisha
the star
she had
always
dreamt
of
being.
While
Keisha’s
stunning
beauty
and
modeling
abilities
were the
attributes
that
made
modeling
agencies
believe
in her,
it truly
was her
character
and
personality
that
exemplified
the fact
that she
was a
star.
For
someone
with as
much
beauty
externally
that
Keisha
possessed,
she was
even
more
beautiful
within.
She was
extremely
devoted
to her
family
and was
never
one to
miss a
family
gathering. Her
cousins
and
nephew
adored
her due
to the
love and
compassion
she
showed
anytime
she was
around
them.
The most
poignant
example
of her
devotion
can be
found in
the fact
that
prior to
her tragic
accident,
she had
driven a
long-distance
to be
with
family
members
she had
not seen
in
awhile.
Her last
act in
life was
one of
complete
devotion
towards
those
she
loved.
Keisha was also
an
amazing
friend.
Towards
her
friends
she
possessed
an
eternal
smile
and a
limitless
supply
of
compassion
and
kindness.
Everywhere
she
went,
she was
the
center
of
attention
and
someone
who made
those
around
her
comfortable.
She was
an
absolute
joy to
anyone
who ever
came
into
contact
with
her.
