Rathie Lee Laney

December 16, 1924 — December 7, 2013

Rathie Lee Laney was born in Southern Pines, North Carolina on December 16, 1924, to Bundy and Lilie Laney. She was the third eldest of six children and came to New York at the age of 14. She was a seamstress and later in life became a Nurse. She birthed two children, Lillian and Keith.

An avid reader, she was perpetually seeking knowledge. With a spirit, Rathie was a person who lived a Christian life. She loved church and volunteered for many church activities. Rathie not only had a radiant smile that lit up her face, she also lit up the innder being of others with her smiling eyes and loving personality. She was a positive influence to all who knew her.

At 89 years of age, this mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, grandaunt, great grandaunt, and friend will be surely missed. We are blessed to have had her touch our lives. She leaves the ancestral legacy of 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
