Halima Doniel Dayugar

Ms. Halima D Scott-Gomes Dayugar passed unexpectedly at her Marietta home on May 23, 2020 at the age of 51. She was born on February 12, 1969 in Providence, RI to fathers Thomas Scott (deceased) and Norman Gomes, and mother Aliyyah Matthews (formerly Victoria Epps). And additionally, parented by father Dannie Matthews and mother Karen Scott through her years. For several years, Halima worked for the public transportation department at the Central Falls School System in Rhode Island. In 2018, her brother Curtis encouraged her to move from Rhode Island to Georgia in pursuit of a better life for her and her son. While in Marietta, Halima worked as a special needs bus driver for the Cobb County School System’s public transportation department. This decision held a special place in her heart because her first child, Brian, whom she adopted is special needs. She also helped and supported her brother Curtis through volunteering in the Marietta Youth Football League and Cobb County Parks & Recreation by transporting supplies, taking kids to their games, and helping to set up for their games. Halima was a unique soul that cared so much about family unity and togetherness. She is the one that stayed connected and was known to keep calling and texting you until you answer her. She was tough and resilient in the life she had and was the biggest advocate for her children in the end. She was successful in making a new life for herself and her son by grinding while she was here. In childhood, Halima taught Curtis everything she knew when she grew up and he is thankful because those lessons shaped him into the man he is today. Everything he does is because his big sis pushed him first which is why it was so easy to have her back no matter what. Halima is survived by brothers and sisters (Scott) and (Gomes), and leaves to cherish her memory sons, Lawrence Dayugar (Marietta, GA) and Brian Scott-Gomes (N. Providence, RI); brothers Curtis Scott (Marietta, GA) and Jamal Scott (Centralia Falls, WA); sisters Adria Scott (Phoenix, AZ) and Alexandra Scott (Yellow Springs, OH); nieces Kendallyn Hinton and Synclaire Scott (Mansfield, OH) and Londyn Scott (Marietta, GA); nephews Lyle Scott (Mansfield, OH), Donovan Scott and Daylin Scott (Columbus, OH), Jaylan Scott and Kylon Scott (Marietta, GA) and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends that loved her very much.
