2014 – 2015

PORTLAND — Gracie-Belle Regina Leclair, of Lewiston, peacefully passed away Saturday morning, May 9, at Maine Medical Center in Portland, after courageously battling illness since her birth.

She was born in Miami, Fla., on May 5, 2014, and has been loved and cared for since by Marcel and Eryn (Soule) Leclair in Lewiston. Even at 1 year of age, Gracie exemplified the bravery and spirit with which most adults would struggle. She has accomplished more in one year than most will in a lifetime. She had an infectious laugh that could only make you laugh in return and some of the biggest joys for her came in the form of butterflies and of course, her Boo Boo Kitty.

She will be deeply missed by her parents, Marcel and Eryn Leclair of Lewiston; her brothers, Sean Leclair of Lewiston, Cody and Jarred Steele of Standish and Austin Partridge of Miami. She also leaves behind her paternal grandparents, Richard and Muriel Leclair of Lewiston; her maternal grandparents, Sherry Oliver of Freeport and Grampy Dennis and Michael and Billie Soule of Freeport; and her maternal great-grandparents, Arthur and Dorothy Frank of Otis and Charlotte Zimont of Hooksett, N.H.
