Niyell McCrorey Obituary

Niyell London McCrorey was born to Shannell Mackins and Darnell Sealy McCrorey on November 17, 2010, at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.

Niyell lived in Brooklyn, NY where she attended P.S. 270 until the age of six years old. She then moved to Harlem, where she attended P.S. 241 and then West Preparatory School for junior high school. She was most recently enrolled in high school at Urban Academy Performing Arts High School, where she played the trombone and several other instruments in the school band and sang in the choir.

Some of her hobbies were dancing, watching TikTok, making TikTok videos, and going on trips with her mother, and grandparents. She also enjoyed spending time with her dad and little sisters.

Her favorite color was blue, she loved doing her lashes, nails, and always got her hair done faithfully. Niyell was the life of the party, when the beat dropped, she hit the dance floor. She took pride in being a big sister and loved her little sisters Aminah and Jalcah dearly. She had dreams of becoming an actress, lawyer, or even a doctor.

She had so many talents; the possibilities would have been endless.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandmother Ernesta Mackins and her grandfather Dwight Holly.

Niyell leaves to cherish her love and memories; her parents Shannell Mackins and Damell S. McCrorey. Her grandmothers: Alitha Mackins-Wilson, Deidre McCrorey, and Pearl Sealy. Grandfathers: Byant Wilson, Kelvin Adams, Llyod McCrorey, and Eddie Bailey. Sisters:

Aminah McCrorey and Jaleah Thompson. Aunts:

Diamond Mackins, Janaia Mackins, Shaniqua Sealy, Keysha Spivey, and Nefitia Lundy. Uncles: Kelvin Mackins, Darrell Scaly, Isaiah Sealy, Jamell Scaly, and Kendell Flicken. Godmother Lashanda, Godfather Charles Duncan, and a host of other relatives and friends.
