Noelle Nia Clay, our sweet and beautiful baby girl, passed away on March 21, 2026, at just 16 months old. She was born on November 12, 2024, in Arlington, Texas, and in her short time here, she brought a lifetime of love, joy, and light to everyone around her.<\/p>\n
Noelle was the cherished daughter of Nikki Ashley Clay and Troy Anthony Clay. She was deeply loved and surrounded by a family and community who adored her endlessly.<\/p>\n
She attended Primrose School, where her bright spirit and sweet personality quickly stood out. In January 2026, she was recognized as Student of the Month\u2014a reflection of the joy she brought to her teachers and friends every single day.<\/p>\n
Noelle had a personality that was impossible to forget. She loved her furry brother, Beni, and found so much happiness in books, the music and laughter of Gracie\u2019s Corner, FaceTime calls with loved ones, and eating Lola\u2019s Cooking. She had a way of making even the simplest moments feel special\u2014whether it was a giggle, a look, or just being near her.<\/p>\n
A celebration of Noelle\u2019s life will be held on Friday, April 10 at 2:00 PM at Wade Funeral Home and Crematory in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n
Our Noelle will be missed beyond words and loved beyond time.<\/p>\n
