Hailee was a fun loving kid, full of spirit and life. She was the type that would do anything for any one, a heart pure of gold. She loved her family and the Lord, she attended First Assembly of God, and she was crowned an Honor Star in a church program.

Hailee excelled at Helena Middle School where attended school. Hailee liked to do gymnastics, cheerleading and play basketball. She enjoyed boating, tubing, skiing, camping, and floating down the Missouri. She always had a smile and was a great big sister. We lost a special young girl but gained a beautiful angel.

She will forever be in our hearts and missed greatly.

She is survived by her mother, Misti Moore of Helena; father, Michael Barrett of St. Cloud, Florida; two sisters, Trinity and Leilana of Helena; grandparents, Keith Moore and Lori Lappe of Great Falls and Debra Moore and Jerry Ward of Helena. Hailee is also survived by her uncle David, aunt Mindi and three cousins, Aubrey, Sierra and Taylor of Helena.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday, October 24th at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home. Funeral services will be 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 25th at the First Assembly of God Church 2210 Dodge Avenue.

  53. Hailee, I wish you could see how different my life has become without you. It’s almost 2016, and all I want is for you to be here with me. Everyone told me accepting you being gone would get easier.. But as time goes on I reminisce more and more on the times we spent together and the time we didn’t get to spend together. You would be so ashamed of who I have become. I never stop wondering what things would be like had we made wiser choices. It’s not fair that I don’t get to see you anymore… You were so special to me! I can’t let you go. I don’t think I ever will! I want to talk one more time, just one more time! I’m in more pain now then ever about you being gone. I love you Hailee Bug. <3 Rest In Paradise!
