Lelia Cradle Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Lelia possessed a remarkable ability to connect with others; she truly never met a stranger. Her kindness knew no bounds, and she was always ready to offer help, even giving the shirt off her back to anyone in need. Lelia's unwavering positive attitude and deep love for Christ were evident to all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving husband, James Hill of Bells, Tennessee, and her devoted parents, Mr. Willie and Jackie McKinnie of Brooklyn, New York. Lelia's memory will be cherished forever by her family and the countless friends whose lives she enriched.
The details for the funeral or memorial service are still being arranged at this time. The family appreciates your thoughts and prayers during this difficult period.

Mook,
The news of your passing hit me like a ton of bricks and I just can´t believe you´re gone from the world so young. I met you when you were just 19 and only beginning to learn what adult life was all about. Even at 19 you stepped up and loved Logan and Taylor as if they were your own and I can´t say enough how much that meant. I know you´re in Heaven now and that´s where we will one day see each other again. Until we meet again, keep watching over us down here and save us a spot next to the throne.
