Eleecia Draughon age 70 of Indianapolis, transitioned to her heavenly home on Thursday, March 10, 2022 at her residence following an extended illness. She was a loving mother and friend. "A precious one from us is gone, a voice we loved is still. A place is vacant in our hearts, which never can be filled." Eleecia was born September 25, 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky. She was the younger of two children born to the marriage of Jeanetta and Raymond Draughon.
"Lisa" as she was affectionately called by her family and friends was a loving and caring mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her warm smile will be greatly missed. Lisa confessed her love for Christ at a young age at Messiah Missionary Baptist Church. She later became affiliated with her beloved New Era Church.
Lisa attended and graduated from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, IN. She was the loving mother of twins Micole and Mario, and Monneka. Lisa enjoyed caring for others and pursued a career in nursing.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories, 3 children, Monneka Draughon, Micole Draughon, and Maurio Draughon all of Indianapolis; 3 brothers, Raymond Draughon, Jr. of Lousiville, KY, Curtis Andrews of Detroit, MI, and Michael Draughon of Detroit, MI; 4 grandchildren, Phillip James Draughon, Maurio Maurice Wilson, and twins Brine and Briana; 3 great-grandchildren, Phillip Draughon, Maurice Draughon, and Lennox; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, treasured friends, and loving caregivers; her powerful prayer warrior, Phyllis Wilson; and her beloved New Era Church family.
Lisa was preceded in death by her parents; granddaughter, Larretha "Lala" Draughon; maternal grandparents, Henry and Jennie King; and paternal grandparents, Bedford and Luvenia Draughon.
Eleecia's wishes were to have a private service followed by cremation. Newcomer Funeral Home in Indianapolis is honored to handle Lisa's arrangements.
Broken Chain "We little knew that morning, God was to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again." – Ron Tranmer
