Za’Nyla Yvette Marie Jones transitioned to eternal rest on Monday, October 24, 2022, at Marion Health. She was born in Marion, Indiana, on September 27, 2022, to Arande’ Jones and Zakia Lewis. Each new life, no matter how brief, forever changes the world, but her little life spoke volumes. How very quietly you tiptoed into our world, silently, only a moment you stayed. But what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts.
In addition to her parents, she is survived by her two big brothers, Zayin Lewis and Harley Warren, both of Marion; paternal grandparents, Eric and Tracy Inman; maternal grandparents, Rachelle Binnion and Joseph (Amanda) Lewis, both of Marion; paternal great-grandmother, Marie Jones of Marion; maternal great-grandmother, Pamela Binnion of Marion; aunts and uncles on father’s side, Eric (Beth) Inman, Anyah McKinney, Deseric Inman, Ann-Sharon Johnson, Angelique Johnson, Audrey Jones, Adonna Wingo, and Antwone Hemphill; aunts and uncles on mother’s side, Jasmine Lewis, Joseph Lewis, Jr., Monica Tinch, Jamar Lewis, Janaya Stone, Jordan Lewis, and Benjamin Lewis; godparents, Alexcis (Tiffany) Lay; and numerous great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins, and other relatives and friends who loved Za’Nyla very much.
Preceding her in death were her paternal uncle, Antonio Johnson; paternal great-grandfather, Thomas Cox; maternal great-grandfather, Joe Lewis, Sr.; and maternal great-grandfather, Rick Binnion.
