It is with great sorrow with the tragic and sudden passing of YURI JANITA WELLS, daughter of Cee Jaye Jolaine Wells and Ray James Sage Fox, on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at the age of eight months.
Yuri was born on April 2, 2022 and was welcomed into the world by her grandparents, Janita & Danny Chief Calf, and Sheldon Wells. She was loved by her brother, William Konner Fox III, to which they shared a loving bond. Yuri brightened the room with her infectious smile and her bright eyes lit up the room with her presence. Yuri was a happy baby and liked to eat at her grandma's Leeanne Eagle Plume when she visited her aunt, Nakota and her cousins, Kyra and Eddie. Yuri was the angel to her great-grandfather, Lambert Fox and her grandfather, JR Fox. Yuri blessed her entire immediate and extended family with her presence and will be missed by all. Yuri battled RSV and finally succumbed to her illness and her sudden passing has affected everyone who met her.
