Syeda Burr was born on December 13, 1975, in Newark, New Jersey, to her beloved parents, Genetha Burr and Jimmy Belfield. Syeda was a beautiful soul whose presence could light up any room.

Syeda had a special way of making people feel welcomed, loved, and cared for. She was the type of person who showed up for others whenever they needed her.

To know Syeda was to know a woman full of life, love, and strength. She had a personality that could never be duplicated and a spirit that could never be forgotten. Her laughter, her wisdom, her love, and the memories she created with family and friends will forever remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Above all, Syeda was a beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her family was an important part of her life, and the love she shared with them will continue to live on through generations. Although her passing leaves an unimaginable emptiness, the beautiful memories she created will forever serve as a reminder of the remarkable woman she was.
