It is with
great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beautiful Hailey
Marie Benoit, age 24.
Born at St
Martha’s Regional Hospital in Antigonish, she was a daughter
of Susanne Benoit-Smith (Jeffrey) and the late Michael
Benoit.
Hailey loved
dancing in the rain, spending time with her friends, the beach,
swimming, writing, music, helping others, and hanging out with her
sister. She had such a beautiful heart.
Hailey’s nephew, Gabe, meant the world to
her; and she meant the world to him. She was the best auntie to her
little boy. He will miss their bath parties, pizza making, back
scratching and Shrek movie nights. She will be so deeply missed by her
favourite little boy.
Besides her
mother and stepfather, she is survived by her brothers, Keagan
(Britney), Truro; and Liam (Kayley), Calgary; her beloved sister,
Jayda, Antigonish; her two step sisters, Cassandra and Aurora, both of
Ontario; her nephew and pride and joy, Gabriel; her grandparents,
Jimmy and Linda Benoit; Pomquet; and Arteen Benoit, Pomquet; her two
special aunts, Jaimie(Dave), Pomquet; Leah (Mike), Trenton;
Godchildren, Serenity, Amari, Nicole, Jaycelie and soon to be born
Sumer Mae; her many cousins, aunts, uncles, and chosen nieces and
nephew; and her dear Quinny girl.
Besides her
father, she is predeceased by her grandfather, Leo Benoit, and her
father’s birth parents, Lorne and Beverly
Flavin.
