Isabella Cheree Paquette
April 14, 2008-September 17, 2011
Bossier City, Louisiana
Isabella Cheree Paquette, 3, of Bossier City, Louisiana passed away Saturday,
September 17, 2011 at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was
born April 14, 2008 at RAF, Lakenheath, England to Calvin James Paquette and Janelle
Villarreal Paquette.
Bella is the absolute light of her family’s lives. In her passing she has continued to place
that light in the hearts of people that she never even met. She was quick to laugh and even
quicker to smile. She never met a stranger, only a new friend. Bella had the amazing gift to
touch lives because everywhere she went, she brought joy and happiness to everyone
along the way. She loved to dance, sing, color and paint pictures, watch Dora the
Explorer, bake with mommy, wrestle with daddy, and play outside. It is impossible to put
into words just what she means to her mommy and daddy, but she is playing and dancing
in heaven now with Jesus and all her family and friends who have gone before her.
Heaven received a new Angel on September 17th, but her family knew she was one all
along. "An Angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. And whispered as she
closed the book 'too beautiful for earth.'"-Unknown
She is preceded in death by maternal great-grandparents, Max and Darlene Enochs;
paternal great-grandparents, Leo and Patricia Paquette; maternal great-grandfathers,
Manuel Villarreal and Salvador Luna; paternal great-grandfather David Setliff; and
paternal great-uncle, Keith Setliff.
Isabella is survived by her parents; maternal grandparents, Mel and Laurie Villarreal of
Rogers, Arkansas; and paternal grandparents, Mark and Karen Paquette of Tucson, AZ.
