Cornelia Ionetta Radden, age 56, of Columbia, South Carolina, passed away Wednesday, June 21, 2017, in Fayetteville, North Carolina where she was living under the care of her eldest daughter. After a courageous battle with breast cancer, our God our Father called her home, late that morning. She was the beloved mother of five beautiful children, grandmother to 16 grandchildren and two great- grands. Cornelia was born (and raised in Columbia) on May 23, 1961 to Franklin Williams and the late Iola Fennell.

She was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends. She especially loved cooking on the grill! She was a loving grandmother to all of her beautiful grandchildren. She also loved watching Lifetime; LMN, to be specific, was her favorite channel to watch. Over time, The Haves and the Have Nots became a show she enjoyed watching as well.

Cornelia was a caregiver to many people.

She is survived by her devoted children: Shawnta Williams, Sedarius Wilson, Tiquana Wilson, Jamie Radden and James T. Radden, Jr.; 16 loving grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; a sister, Tracey Corbett, and three brothers: Cornell Williams, Larry Fennell and Arnold Fennell .

She has gone to rest and was preceded in death by her mother, Iola Williams, and her two brothers, Sylvester and Stanley Williams.
