“ C I L A”
Velica Dracila Colton was born on July 15, 1990, to Aubrey Betty Lou Askew and Marsha Colton. She passed away peacefully on April 14, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Velica was educated in the Coweta County School System. She worked several jobs until she was diagnosed with leukemia and her health began to decline. Velica leaves to cherish her precious memories her parents, Aubrey Askew and Marsha Colton; her son Jeremiah Colton; daughter, Serenity Colton; grandparents Charles Colton and Linda Pittman; aunts and uncles, Michelle Ball (Brian Ball), Crystal Colton, Christopher Colton, Juanita Askew, and David Askew; great aunts and uncles, Betty Booker, Diane Johnson, Dora Neal, Mary Neal, James Colton Jr., Carl Domineck, Milton Neal, Bennie Neal, and Stanley Neal; great-great aunt, Mary Domineck Dunson; sisters and brother, Tishema Ballard(Nick Shropshire), William Askew, and LaQuisha Askew; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. REMEMBER ME To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot speak, but I can be listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard So as you stand upon a shore gazing at A beautiful sea, As you look upon a flower and Admire its simplicity, Remember me. Remember me in your heart: Your thoughts, and your memories, Of the times we loved, The times we cried, The times we fought, The times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.
