Mila Fay Suffield

Mila Fay Suffield, age 2, of Kokomo, Indiana, gained her wings on Sunday, September 8, 2024, at Riley Children's Hospital. She was born on February 1, 2022, to Savanna Perry and William Suffield.

Mila packed a lot of life in her short time here on earth. She was diagnosed with Leukemia at just 4 months old and fought hard until the very end. Even though her life was hard, she always had a smile on her face. She was an old soul with a huge personality. She was intelligent for her age and loved to learn. She was feisty and funny, always bringing joy wherever she went. She loved to watch Peppa Pig, Blippi, and Minnie Mouse especially while eating her favorite snack, white Cheeto puffs. She enjoyed drawing and spending time with her siblings. She will be missed by all of those who had the pleasure to know and love her.

Those left behind to cherish her memory are her parents, siblings; Noah, William, Bella, and Layah, maternal grandmother; Brandi Evans, paternal grandmother; Barbie Suffield, and maternal great grandmother; Cathy Perry.

She is preceded in death by paternal grandfather; Jason Perry, and great grandparents John Perry, Angela Cleaver, and Ina Carpenter.

There will be a Celebration of life at a later date.
