"Our little angel, forever in our hearts."

Little Ki'Ayla Skye Mills, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, gained her heavenly wings on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Erlanger Children's Hospital in Chattanooga.

Ki'Ayla brought boundless joy and love during her precious time on earth. Though her stay was brief, her light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who loved her.

She is lovingly survived by her devoted parents, Kiani Mills and Marvin Bonds of Chattanooga, TN; grandparents Shavonne Mills and Ulysses Bradley of Chattanooga, TN, and Dontia Smith and Melvin Bonds III of Chattanooga, TN; great-grandparent Jeanette Thorton of Chattanooga, TN; and a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and family friends who will cherish her memory forever.

A visitation for Little Ki'Ayla Mills will be held at Ponders Brainerd Chapel on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Though she was with us for only a moment, Little Ki'Ayla's memory will live on eternally—in every heart she touched, and every prayer whispered in her name.
