She is survived by her mentioned parents and step-parents, grandmothers Maudrey

Phillip Parfait, Clay Theriot III, Crystal Theriot, and Katy Theriot; uncles 
and aunts; John Clement, Paul and Cindy Clement, Danny and Dewanna Bergeron, 
Mike and Amy Bergeron, Trudy Clement, Tina and David Granger, and many cousins, 
nieces, nephews and friends. She was the God-Mother of Paul Clement Jr., and 
Rosa Valdivia.

She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, James Clement Sr. and CJ 
Bergeron; Brother-in-Law, Levi Guidry, and nephew Brayden Theriot.

Hailey lived her early youth in Cocodrie, where she developed a passion for the 
water.  During Hailey's early elementary school years, she was fearless and 
extremely gregarious; she would often start a conversation with an adult who 
was a complete stranger and she would tell them things that would sometimes be 
totally embarrassing for someone to say that was older.  
When she was a preteen, she moved to Houma and became a little more reserved as 
she matured, but Hailey was always kind to anyone she met.  Hailey spent her 
summers at her grandmother's house with her cousins, riding her bike to the 
pool everyday. She was an excellent swimmer and was a member of the Ellendale 
Swim Team.  
During her teens, she became an avid tennis player and played on the varsity 
team at Terrebonne High School where she earned a letterman's jacket.  

During her senior year in high school, Hailey was a part-time employee at 
Clement Insurance; after graduating Terrebonne High School in 2012, Hailey 
began working full-time at Clement Insurance.  However, Hailey wanted more than 
what Houma offered.  In the spring of 2014, Hailey moved to Venice Beach, 
California.  After Hailey arrived, her father informed her that the daughter of 
his first cousin was in Los Angeles; Hailey met up with her cousin, Lauren 
Keane, and they quickly became best friends and roommates.  Within three 
months, Hailey became a licensed State Farm agent.  But Hailey wanted to be out 
of an office, so she put in her notice and became a hostess at James' Beach.  
Still desiring to be on the water, Hailey started working at Marina Del Ray; 
there she rented jet skis, paragliding adventures, sailboats, and other gear 
for water sports.  Hailey loved this job and was a dedicated employee.  Hailey 
also started surfing and practicing yoga; she had become a bona fide member of 
the Venice Beach community where she would take "her baby" (her little dog 
named Moe) for walks… she absolutely loved living in Venice Beach.  But 
Hailey's life was tragically ended Sunday morning, October 16th, in a car 
accident on her way to work. 

There are so many thing about Hailey that will be missed, but never forgotten: 
Hailey was a free-spirit, loving, caring, compassionate, big-hearted beautiful 
girl.  She always had a smile, and the last couple of years of her life were 
moments of peace, finding herself and her strength, and experiencing life.  In 
the short time she's had here on Earth, she has lived more life than some 
people do in a lifetime.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the Clement family.
