Halee Nickole Boyd-Bush

November 5, 2015

Halee Nickole Boyd-Bush won her battle with cancer October 27, 2015 and entered Heaven’s gates singing. Halee was full of life and love and she will always be remembered for her infectious smile and fighting spirit. There was nothing she faced that she could not conquer. Even facing death she was always laughing and tried to put others at ease. In her short 21 years on Earth there were many things she wanted to do but was unable to do, but she cherished the many opportunities she was given.

Halee was born October 6, 1994 to Daniel Jason “Jake” Boyd and Martha “Mardi” Elizabeth (Gatlin) Jernigan in Pensacola, Fl. She was a 2014 graduate of Tate High School where she was a member of the Beta Club and attended Pensacola State College. She was a longtime member of the Pensacola Children’s Chorus and served as a volunteer for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Organization.

Halee is survived by her devoted husband Sidney Albert Bush, loving brother Spencer Boyd, adoring grandparents Mary Crawley of Lemoore, CA and Dan and Linda Boyd of Pensacola, loving great-grandmother Isabel “Mamu” Goss of Pensacola, stepfather Keith Jernigan and step-sister Kandace Jernigan of Munson, FL, beloved adopted puppy Nova and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends.

A celebration of Halee’s life will be held on November 14, 2015 at Hillcrest Baptist Church, 800 E. 9 Mile Road, Pensacola, Fl with the Pastor Jeff Howard officiating. Visitation is at 9:00 a.m. and the service is at 11:00 a.m. Halee specifically asked that no one wear black to her service. In lieu of flowers she requested donations be made in her honor to Muttnation Foundation (www.muttnationfoundation.com) or to Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida, 1020 North Orlando Avenue, Suite 100, Maitland, FL 32751.

The family would like to say a special thanks to Dr. Joanne Lagmay and the staff at Shand’s Children’ hospital, the doctors, nurses and staff at Sacred Heart Children’s hospital, and to Covenant Hospice for all the love and care they provided. We would also like to thank the entire community for the outpouring of love and support you provided Halee and her family during her illness. Halee’s motto was “When you have something to live for, you can’t stop fighting” and she lived up to that every day of her life! You were our angel on Earth Halee and now you’re an angel in God’s arms! We love you!

    I just happen to come across this and of course my heart breaks for her husband and her family. But my heart mostly breaks for her dog, Nova. She’s not going to understand why Halee is no longer in her life. She will look for her everywhere. It’s just so incredibly sad. Rest in peace Halee.
