A'Naleia Rumani Long

Belden-A'Naleia Rumani Long was born on Nov. 2, 2025 at the Women's Center in Tupelo to Ja'Nyiah Hardy and Earnest Long, Jr. She went to heaven to be with Jesus and all the other little children after living 36 days, transforming to Glory Land on Dec. 6, 2025. LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis provided the best medical care they could provide. She was a lovely little baby girlthat seemed to share a smile on every visit with her family and loved the color pink. In the Bible, God says, "Suffer the Little Children to come unto me for Such is the Kingdom of God". A'Naleia was dearly loved by her family who knows she bloomed early but God wanted her in his beautiful garden of little ones to live eternally.
A service celebrating her life will be held at 11 AM Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025 in the Sadie Holland Memorial Chapel at Holland Funeral Directors-Tupelo with Pastor Willie Wilson officiating.
