Hayden Renee Kimball, 1

Hayden Renee Kimball, age 1 of International Falls, Minn., died Friday, Aug. 22, 2014 at the Rainy Lake Medical Center.

Hayden was born April 23, 2013 to Kyle and Rebecca Kimball in International Falls.

Hayden lived a life of joy and smiles. She loved her big brothers, Seth and Ethan, and would giggle when they played with her, but really all they had to was be near and she was happy.

Happy is the best word to describe Hayden. She smiled at everyone and only new friends she hadn’t met yet. Hayden could make you smile on even the worst day and touched all who met her with sweet, gentle nature, laughing eyes and excited smiles.

Hayden and her mommy would dance to her favorite songs with Hayden getting mad when the song ended but only until the next song started. Then she would jump along with the music, happy in her mom’s arms.

When Hayden heard her dad, she would squeal with joy and do everything in her power to get a hold of his red hat the second she saw him. They would laugh and play but she wouldn’t give back the hat.

Along with her parents and brothers, Hayden will be forever loved and missed by her grandparents, Juli and John Brunette; Audie and Kathy Kimball; and Kim Creed. Great grandparents, Tom and JoAnn Coulombe and Janet Hams. Aunties and uncles, Leslee and Tim McClellan; Ranada Dickson; Ralinda Vergilio and Steve Grover; and Ramona and David Romo. Cousins Ariel, Leo, Kaylee, Andee, Alta, Paulo, Justin, Sophia, Annalee and Ryder.

Hayden was loved by many and leaves behind numerous adopted aunts, uncles and grandmas.

We will forever love our sweet Punkin butt.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the 10 a.m. funeral Wednesday, Aug. 27 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1340 Keenan Drive, International Falls.
