Lula Akins

November 29, 1949 — March 23, 2021

Lula Akins, 71, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. Lula became a homemaker after working for Williams Food Company. She loved to be outside and take long walks. Being so physically fit meant she was always ready to take on any Dance challenge with her children, family or friends. With her 10 kids and a fiery spirit, it was never a dull moment. Grabbing something sweet to eat and playing Solitaire on her computer was her favorite past time to do. She was caring and very funny, which matched well when she would love on her many grand children. She is now our Guardian Angel.

She was born on November 29, 1949 in Staton, Tennessee to Thomas and Lucy Bailey. She is preceded in death by her father, Thomas Bailey, mother, Lucy Mae Bailey; husband, Charles J. Akins and granddaughter, Janiya; sisters, Emma Lee Boone and Maratha Bond, brother, Willie Bailey.

Lula is survived by her loving family, children, Jacqueline Bailey, Robert (Leslie) Brand, Bacardi "Brenda" (Herman) Bailey, Sheleko N. (Juaquin) Madaris, Judy Brand, Debbie Brand, Heather Madaris, Clarence M. Bailey, Janet E. O'Neal, and DeCarlos M. (Cheryl) Madaris.

Grandchildren, Rayann, Michelle, Tamika, Jonathan, Latorya, Lamar, Michael, Latasha, Jaylen, Jessica, Andreaka, Latresia, Quinton, Albert, Aljay, EJ, Elonna, Justin, Joshua, Ariana, Clarence, Cassie, Mahogany, Ricky, Ricardo, Riquan, LaMonte, Alvin, Madison, Hayley, Olivia, Emily, and Arissa.

Lula leaves her cherished memories with Sisters Barbara Johnson, Helen (Walter) Barbee, Brother, Rev. Ernest L Bailey, aunt Martha. As well as a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family, and friends to cherish her loving memory forever.
