Muteteli Akilah Harvey, 49, of Sandwich IL, passed away Monday December 19th 2022 at her home, as an assumed result of a decade long struggle with disability caused by known and unknown chronic illness and pain. She was born August 6th 1973 in Chicago IL, the daughter of Melvin & Curtnall (Wilson-Galvin) Williams; married Shaun Xavier Harvey February 14th 1994 and divorced 2002.
Muteteli, also known as Tay, was a larger than life individual who expressed every emotion unapologetically, loved deeply, and touched the hearts of the many she knew. Tay studied at the College of Dupage and at Barber-Scotia College. She found her passions in caring for others- taking great pride working customer service, as a CNA, and finally with great love as a cosmetologist. She often likened these disparate fields to giving people their dignity and quality of life in ways generally overlooked. Anyone who knew her could describe the way her infectious laugh could be heard miles away or her ability to weave an enthralling story from the mundane. Muteteli was a human being who shined brighter than the sun; sometimes it burned, but she was beautiful in a way that is much too rare. She will be sorely and desperately missed.
She will be reuniting with her baby brother Manu Williams who, from the day he was born, she saw as both her and her mothers baby.
Tay is survived by her mother Curtnall Williams; her sister Roshauna Blanche; her daughters Eros and Isis Harvey; her aunt Vearl Delsol and uncle Clement Delsol; Cousin Deandre Delsol, his spouse Jasmine Delsol, and newborn son Néshun Delsol; Cousin Raphiel Delsol and Curtis Delsol; ex-fiance Chris Flores; and ex-husband Shaun Xavier Harvey. She leaves behind a host of friends, family, and loved ones across the globe
A small memorial service will be held Tuesday December 27th 2022 at Avantara Rehabilitation Center, 400 W. Sullivan Rd. Aurora, IL 60506 starting at 1:00 pm. A more inclusive celebration of Muteteli’s life as desired by the deceased will be planned at a future date. Contact known relatives for more information.
