Alma Lee Rakes Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on April 13, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Alma Lee Rakes of Raleigh, North Carolina. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let her loved ones carry forward the torch of her memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of her love and the brilliance of her spirit. Though Alma may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, her essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Clovis Sykes and Eula Sykes; her siblings, Josephine and Frank; her sons, Philip and Stephen; and her grandchildren, Mahlon, Emily, Taylor and George.
