Jalee was a cheerful, loving and compassionate person with a beautiful smile that could light up your soul. She loved to travel and enjoyed spending time with family. She was a wonderful big sister who loved her siblings. She enjoyed doing beadwork and making baskets as taught by Louise Goings. She was also a cheerleader, basketball and softball player. She enjoyed playing sports. Jalee was one to make you laugh, she would try to scare somebody if she didn’t scare herself first. Jalee will be remembered for her gentleness, grace and kindness. She brought so much love and joy to our family and we will miss her dearly.
