Raney Dawn Martin Cottle, 39, of Sacramento, California was sitting in her garage on the evening of September 21, 2016 when she was tragically hit by a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting. 

Raney fought for her life for a week and transitioned on September 26, 2016

Her 6 children were in the home at the time of the shooting and thankfully they were not injured. 

She was a beloved mother of 6 children, 1 whom she adopted when he was a year old, a loving wife, daughter, sister, niece, grandmother, aunty and dear friend.

Friends of Raney say she was a beautiful person both inside and out and they say she will truly be missed by all that knew her.

No one can understand understand how someone can drive down a street shooting with   complete disregard for human life. 

 Raneys children lost their father 2  years ago and depended solely on her for their care. 

Raneys family is trying to raise money for the care of her children if you would like to help please visit or share the link below.

Our sympathies to her loved ones and children. Rest peacefully Raney Dawn
