Little Miss Bayleigh Ra'Dell Maples, 1, passed away on May 16, 2018 at Children's Mercy Hospital. Affectionately known as "Bayleigh Ali", she was born June 2, 2016 at Truman Medical Center. Bayleigh was born two months early weighing 2lbs 4oz. She came into this world fighting, and never stopped. At 7 months, she was diagnosed with infant leukemia. With all her sass, dirty looks and cute little attitude, she never let her illness stop nor slow her down. If you ever met that little princess, then you would know why the love for her is infinite. With all her cute outfits, shoes, jewelry, and purses, Bayleigh had a reputation to keep up! It took weeks to teach her to clean up her mess in her room, but one day (mom) was doing laundry while Bayleigh played in her room and when (mom) went to see what she was doing, she was cleaning her room! Mommy's big girl finally did it on her own. It's simple things like this that made (mom) so proud of her. The fight she had in her was more than enough to be proud of. Bayleigh Ali, you are truly loved and missed by many. She leaves to cherish her memory: her mother, Mahkiya Clarkson; father, Bobby Maples; grandparents, Laquisha Davis, Toni and Danisha "GiGi" Clarkson, Bobby and Anita Maples; uncles, Brandon, Tony, Montai, Earl, Najee, Kiree, Deon, Eejan and Tyvell; aunts, Malea and Amanda; Godmother, Monique White; first cousins, Elijah and Brooklyn; best friend, TiAnna Brooks and a host of other family and friends.
