Nila Ann Dunaway, 69, of Simpsonville, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
Born in Baytown, TX, she was the daughter of the late Leon and Ruth Dunaway.
She is survived by her brother, Clifton (Sheila) Dunaway; nephews, Joshua (Nikki) Dunaway and their daughters, Leilah and Lana, and Justin Dunaway and his daughter, Lily. She had 1 dog, a chihuahua named Frankie, and two cats named Tara and Tess. All three were re-homed to a close neighbor who used to baby sit the pets when Nila was away, so she knew them.
She was preceded in death by a brother, Winston Dunaway.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to the ASPCA.
Service details will be announced once finalized.
Additional information is forthcoming.

Dear Clifton, Sheila and sons,
Please accept my sincerest sympathies on Nila’s death. She was a wonderful friend for many years.
I was just thinking about her a couple of days ago….
Peace to all of you.
Kathy Bernhardt Long, I met Nila 45 years ago when we worked at Craig, Lamm, Hensley and Alderman!
She and I went to England with my college friend in June of 1983…we had a blast!
Nila was my cool, sweet, sassy cousin who I admired from an early age and afar as we occupied different coasts. So happy she was able to share her generous spirit with the people & pets in her life. She will be dearly missed.
