CLARISSA MICHELLE & DAKOTA JULIUS ENGLISH, passed away suddenly at home on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at the ages of 24 & 18 years.
Clarissa was born in Calgary, AB on June 8, 1990 and left this world with her brother Dakota English and her boyfriend Kyle Devine on April 28, 2015 in Lethbridge, AB. Clarissa leaves to mourn her parents, Laurie M. (Kevin) English-Winters and Vincent (Cathy) Many Grey Horses, and is the beloved mother to Tayva and Treyton English-Good Eagle. She is lovingly remembered by her siblings, Chantal and Pride, maternal grandparents, Wendy English and Michael Winters, paternal grandparents, Mary Louise (Norbert) Many Grey Horses, great-grandparents; Louise English, Ruby and Lester Winters, Aunts; Karen (Cory) English, Tammy Many Grey Horses, Uncles; Norbert and Shawn Many Grey Horses, Godmother Sally English and loving cousin Dustin English.
Clarissa loved being with Tayva and Treyton and enjoyed family gatherings. She loved the Detroit Red Wings and would be sad to know they are out of contention for the Stanley Cup. Laurie and Clarissa's relationship was strong; it was more than a mother daughter relationship. They were best friends as you could be guaranteed to see them attached at the hip. Clarissa's life goal was to become a Social Worker, just like her Aunt Karen. Clarissa's favorite food was bacon and apparently this was an English trait. Clarissa had a presence about her and when she entered any room, heads would turn. Clarissa had a beautiful soul, loving spirit and a magnetic charisma.
Clarissa always greeted you with a smile and a warm hug. She always had time for others and often was a great counselor because she took the time to listen. Clarissa's friends and family often confided in her because they trusted her. After talking with her, she would often have a crazy comment that would leave everyone laughing. Clarissa would often be jamming out to Eminem with a Red Bull. Everyone who knew Clarissa has a cherished memory that was filled with lots of laughter and joy.
Clarissa was predeceased by great-grandfathers Omer & Julius English, Melvin Many Grey Horses Sr., Uncles; Charles (Godfather) and George English, Melvin & Travis Many Grey Horses, Stanley Parenteau, Aunts; Shelly Many Grey Horses, Faye English, cousins; Luella, Tyler and Juliann English and special friend, Scotty Yellowhorn.
