Cyrila Dawn Douglas

Her memories will live within our hearts to help us bear our grief. God called her home to give her rest from pain, a sweet relief.

Cyrila Dawn Douglas was born on April 15, 1942 in Adairville, Kentucky. Cyrila and her family moved to New Albany, Indiana when she was a young girl. Cyrila professed her faith in Christ and was a devoted member of Second Baptist Church where she actively volunteered in the kitchen.

Cyrila enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Her favorite color was purple. She was affectionately known to most as Mom or Mamma. With an open door, you were always greeted with a smile and a kind word. She cherished her family near and far. She enjoyed cooking Sunday dinners for her family who she adored. Cyrila loved her fish and her aquariums. She loved gardening, hummingbirds, and possessed a special knowledge of flowers and plants. Her legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of many.

On September 3, 2021 at Clark Memorial Hospital her Heavenly Father called her home.

Cyrila is preceded in death by her parents, Fredericks and Luna (Taylor) Douglas; a brother, Robert A. Douglas; sister, Irene Smith; and sister-in-law, Rosetta (Van Cliff) Douglas.
