Haylee Jewel Rivenbark

With profound sadness we gather today to celebrate the beautiful Haylee Jewel Rivenbark, who was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on March 10, 2025, after a courageous battle with brain cancer. She was 34 years old.

Born on May 4, 1990, in The Woodlands, Texas, Haylee’s journey took her to Panama City Beach, Florida, in the 5th grade before she settled in Tallahassee during her junior year of high school. It was in Tallahassee that she built her life, filled with love, laughter, and an unshakable faith in Jesus.

In 2011 Haylee married her husband Lance Rivenbark. Haylee’s greatest joy in life was being a mother to her three beautiful children, Kenlee, Layton, and Hadley Rivenbark. They were her world, and she loved them fiercely. She was their biggest cheerleader, their safe place, and their source of endless love.

To know Haylee was to know strength, resilience, and a spirit that could light up any room. She had a sense of humor that was unmatched—especially when she and her Sissy were together, laughing at their own jokes. She loved big, lived boldly, and embraced life with an energy that was simply contagious.

Haylee was loved by many, including her parents, Larry and Cindy Pooser, and Roy and Yelba Heaton; her siblings, Kevin and Krysti Miles, Rocky and Shirley Roberts, and Chase Walker; and her cherished nieces and nephews. She adored her family and left an indelible mark on the lives of those who knew her.

She was beautiful inside and out, full of life, and loved by so many. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing that she is at peace, her faith fulfilled, and healed in Heaven.

Haylee’s love, laughter, and faith will never fade, as it lives through her three precious children. She will forever be missed and always remembered.

A visitation for Haylee will be held Friday, March 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM at Emerge Church, 6800 Mahan Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32308 with funeral services beginning at 1:00 PM. The burial will follow at 3:00 PM at MeadowWood Memorial Park, 700 Timberlane Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32312.
