The Newton County community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Jayla Waylah, a beloved daughter, friend, and expectant mother whose life was tragically cut short in a devastating crash on Fairview Road. At just — and carrying the precious life of her unborn baby — Jayla’s journey was one filled with promise, joy, and a future that her loved ones now hold tightly in their hearts.
On a quiet Friday morning that should have been like any other, Jayla’s life was taken suddenly and unfairly. She was a passenger in a vehicle struck by an impaired driver, an impact so severe that neither she nor her unborn child could be saved. Her passing has sent waves of grief through everyone who knew her, and even those who didn’t have the privilege of meeting her have felt the weight of this tragedy.
A Light to Everyone Who Knew Her
Jayla was known for her warm spirit, her uplifting smile, and the gentle kindness she offered to everyone around her. Family members describe her as someone who loved deeply, cared openly, and carried herself with a grace beyond her years. She was excited for motherhood — a new chapter filled with dreams, plans, laughter, and love. Her unborn child already had a place in her heart and the hearts of those who eagerly awaited their arrival.
Her friends remember her as a compassionate listener, a playful soul, and someone who could brighten any room just by walking into it. She had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and appreciated — qualities that made her truly special.
A Mother’s Love That Will Never Be Forgotten
The loss of Jayla and her unborn baby is a wound that words cannot fully heal. Her family is holding onto the memories of her joy, her love, and her excitement for the future. Though this chapter ended far too soon, the love she carried lives on — in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the hearts forever touched by her presence.
Gone But Never Forgotten
As Newton County grieves, they also remember. They honor her. They speak her name proudly:
Jayla Waylah.
A young woman taken too soon.
A mother whose love will echo for generations.
A life that mattered.
A life that will never, ever be forgotten.
May her spirit rest in eternal peace, and may her loved ones find strength, comfort, and healing in the days ahead. Jayla’s memory will live on — not only in the hearts of those who loved her but also in the collective promise to cherish life, protect one another, and stand against the tragedies caused by impaired driving.
This is not goodbye.
This is until we meet again.
