Taraneka LaVette Craig (aka: Neka & Sneaky Pee) was a blessing given by God on Tuesday, October 3, 1978 to Deborah Craig and the late Aaron Bee in Mobile, Alabama.

Taraneka moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas over 14 years ago and was employed with McDonalds for 12 years. She was truly a Roll Tide Fan. Everyone had to be extremely quiet when Alabama was playing games. Neka loved life and cooking. She truly treasured all the time she spent with her family. She was very fond of all of her nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed and always treasured in our hearts.
