T abetha Quionna  Dandy





                  Tabetha Quionna Dandy was born September 20th, 1982, to Anthony and Rhoda Dandy at Maxi Care Hospital in Culver
           City, CA. She was 8 lbs 11oz. Tabetha grew up in South Central LA,  where her family attended Tower of Faith Evangelistic Church. She

           was dedicated to the Lord  on March 13th, 1983 by Pastor Reuben P. Anderson. At the age of 5, we discovered her gift of  singing while
           attending vacation bible school (Tabetha also attended preschool at Tower of  Faith Christian Academy). Her family relocated to the city

           of Rialto in the Inland Empire in 1991, where Tabetha attended Simpson Elementary School, receiving an award for creative writing
           at  the age of 11; that is where we realized that she had the gift in writing poems, songs and music.  Her family relocated and bought a home

           in San Bernardino in 1997 where God blessed them  with a new church family at Ecclesia Christian Fellowship, under the leadership of
           Pastor Joshua Beckley. She joined the youth choir and was very active in ministry and the community, where she was asked by the San

           Bernardino Unified School District to join the City of Reader’s program that encouraged and empowered the youth through music and
           education. Tabetha went on to  attend Golden Valley Middle School (1994-1996), where she began playing basketball.  She attended

           San Gorgonio High school (1997-2001) and continued to participate in girls basketball along with track & field, and she received awards

           in the SAL and CIF  championships. She also participated in the decathlon, receiving a scholarship from Pepsi Cola  and graduated from
           San Gorgonio in 2001. She continued her education at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, CA.  Being the outstanding athlete that she was,
           she was later inducted in her High School’s Hall for Fame in 2016.

                  Tabetha started her musical career at an early age. She began signing with her sister, Amanda, and they called themselves, 2N1.

           The duo contributes their love for inspirational music to their parents and grandmother who taught and sang constantly throughout their
           childhood years. Tabetha and Amanda wanted to introduce their unique sound to all people. Tabetha had a passion for music and loved to

           collaborate with other artists. She appeared on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, performed for Mayor Judith Vales ,in the City of San
           Bernardino and the San Bernardino Unified School District. She sang background for Christina Aguilera, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Mary J.

           Blige, Chante Moore, Deitrick Haddon, and Kenny Lattimore just to name a few.
                  Tabetha was blessed to tour the world and travel to multiple countries such as Japan, Africa, France, Amsterdam, Dubai, Italy,

           Malaysia, Israel and many more....Tabetha has worked with talented artists and producers and she continued to write songs, focus on studio
           and vocal arrangements, and mentor up and coming artist, throughout her career.

                  Although she enjoyed touring and singing, Tabetha also enjoyed family. She has 2 amazing sons, Justin and Noah.
           In her earlier years of touring, she took time off to get married and spend time with her family. Because of her bubbly personality she landed

           a position in property management and showed great benevolence. Tabetha loved to give back by singing at various venues and participating

           in positive events around the community. She built great lasting friendships, she had an infectious personality and kept everyone laughing.
           Her spirit, smile, and energy will surely be missed.

                  She leaves to cherish her memory: Grandmother: Margie Ree Pitchford-James; Parents: Anthony Dandy and Rhoda Dandy;
           Sister: Amanda Dandy-West (Husband, Wiley); Brother:  Anthony Nathan Dandy (Fiancé, Katherine); Sons: Justin Isaiah White
