Layla Malone Obituary

Malone Layla Capri Malone, 4 years, was granted her angel wings on Thursday, November 7, 2013. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends whom Layla had touched with her shining light throughout her very memorable life. Although her life was short, Layla lived and loved and giggled a lot. She enjoyed playing with (and pestering) her big brother Camden, eating popsicles, playing with baby dolls, swimming, dressing up, brushing her Mommy's hair and cuddling with Daddy watching Michael Jackson dance videos. She loved animals and found great friendship in her pups Duchess and Stella, chasing them around the house. Layla is survived by her loving parents; brother; grandparents; great grandparents; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins and friends from her large extended family. Calling hours will be held on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 from 5-7 p.m. at HILL FUNERAL HOME, 220 South State Street, Westerville, OH 43081. A funeral service will be held at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Sunbury, OH on Thursday, November 14, at 11 a.m. A memorial fund is established in Layla's honor at Huntington National Bank, Columbus, OH.
