Ariel R. M. Montague

Ariel R. M. Montague, 14, of Fulton, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2019, at Phelps County Hospital surrounded by family. Ariel was born on October 7, 2005, in Columbia, Mo., the beloved daughter of James I. Kaley and Sara R.M. (Montague) Kaley. Ariel was a talented young soul. She was a fighter, never gave up on anything. She was brilliant, funny, gorgeous, independent, strong, loving, boujee and authentic. Ariel loved singing, dancing and acting. She was amazing at all of it. Ariel wanted to be a model, singer and rapper. She already had modeling offers. That freckled nose of hers got her everything she wanted. Ariel was a cheerleader and did all her cheers with grace and positive vibes to her, she loved it. She had hair down her back and she took pride in it. She was always there for anyone who needed someone. She gave the best advice and was right 95% of the time. She knew she had a giant heart and a kind soul. Left to reminisce her elegant and bright memories are her loving parents: James I. Kaley and Sara R. M. (Montague) Kaley; brothers: Romeo A. C. Montague and Bridger Ewings; her sisters and best friends: Raven E. M. Montague and Gaberiela R. N. Kaley; grandparents: Derril Montague of Jacksonville, Elizabeth Miles of Auxvasse, Robert Kaley of Farmington, Regina Barker of Farmington; and too many aunts, uncles and cousins to name. She was very loved and will never be forgotten.
