      SLADE, HALEY ALEXANDRIA July 29, 1993-September 17, 2013 Haley Slade, beloved daughter, sister, and friend, passed away September 17, 2013. Haley was a 2011 graduate of Sandia High School. After completing requirements for an Associates Degree at Central New Mexico Community College, she entered the University of New Mexico this fall with plans to major in business with a communications minor. She was a voracious reader and a straight-A student. Haley loved the outdoors, especially, skiing, snowboarding, four-wheeling, camping, and with enthusiasm, all kinds of motorsports. She was also a heck of a shot with a .22. Haley was always a leader, and a constant and faithful friend and family member. Her twin brother, Taylor, says she would defend anyone, whether or not you might think they deserve it. Her greatest joys came in helping others and caring for animals. She is survived by her brother, Taylor; her sister, Lisa; her best friend, Kayleigh; and her loving parents, Bart and Natalie Slade. They and all who knew her will miss her and the imprint she would have continued to make on their, and all of our, lives. There will be a Celebration of Life for Haley from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 26, at Calvary Chapel, 4001 Osuna Rd. NE, Albuquerque.
