Serenity Step' eysi (Rain) Clairmont, 14 months

Serenity Step’ eysi (Rain) Clairmont “was made an angel” on Jan. 10, 2016.

She was born at St. Luke Hospital in Ronan to Henry Lee Clairmont and Arisha Marian Hales on Nov. 11, 2014. During her short stay she brought joy and happiness to the lives of her family and their friends, bringing them together. Her smile and eagerness were contagious and brightened everyone’s day.

Serenity was preceded in death by great-grandpa James Lewis Hawk, and great-“papa” Andy; grandmother, Nadine Clairmont; and uncle, Shawn Whitworth.

She is survived by great-grandmother, Marian Andrew; grandparents, Dennis Clairmont, Lennie Hales and Jami Hamel; brothers, Hayden Clairmont, Caden Hales and Mason Hales; uncle, Gerald Hamel; aunts, Adele Marchi and Jacob, Elizabeth Jones-Ferguson and Greg, Mariah Hamel and Malia Hamel; great-aunt, Janie Wanbaunsee; and numerous other great-uncles, great-aunts and cousins.

“Her early passing reminds us all to live better lives and appreciate our time here. It is with heavy hearts we let her go and with great joy that she is in heaven with those that passed before us.”

A wake began Wednesday morning at the Long House in St. Ignatius Wednesday. Rosary was said at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Wake closing will be at 10 a.m. today, Thursday, followed by Mass at 11 a.m. in the Catholic Church.  Interment will follow at the Jocko Catholic Cemetery in Arlee.
