Danniellie Lipford

Danniellie Lipford was born on February 11, 1955, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Mary Ella Williams and Isiah Mills, Sr. She was affectionately known by her family and friends as “Shortie” because of her small stature.

Danniellie accepted our Lord and Savior early in life and was baptized at her home church in Cleveland, Ohio.

Her greatest joy in life was being a mother to the four children God blessed her with. The love she had for them extended to her second blessings her grandchildren and great-grandchild.

Danniellie’s favorite pastimes were cooking, cheering for her Cleveland Browns, and watching her favorite TV shows. She was a nurturing, caring, and loving person. Once she called you hers, she gave you all her protection, love, comfort, encouragement and she always made sure you were well-fed.

She departed this life on August 12, 2025, surrounded by a host of family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents Mary Ella Williams and Isiah Mills Sr., and sister Shirley Hughes.

Danniellie leaves her love in the hearts of her children: Lucchinsia Burston, Keywanna Revell (Christopher Revell), Solomon Earl Lipford, and Marquette Ellison; her siblings: Isiah Mills Jr. (Carmen), Willie B. Williams (Letitia), Fred Mills, Louella Roberts, and William Beasley (Theresa); sixteen grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

The family would like to acknowledge DaiJa President, Danniellie’s eldest granddaughter, for the love, care, and special attention she gave to her grandmother during her final and challenging years.
