Kayrene Marie Clarke

Kayrene Marie Clarke, whose laughter was contagious and whose kindness warmed the hearts of many, left this world too soon on October 4th, 2024, at the age of 33.

She will be lovingly remembered by her mother: Christy Clarke; brother: Declan (Courtney) Clarke; sisters: Teagan and Saoirse Clarke; niece: Brielle Clarke; uncles: Patrick and Dennis (Fiona) Clarke; aunt: Oona Clarke; cousins: Sarah and Ross Clarke, and Marisa (David) Metcalf; as well as numerous extended relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her father: Peter Martin Clarke.

Kayrene was born in Bellshill, Scotland on June 23, 1991. She moved to Gilbert, Arizona in November of 1999. She had varied work experience over the years and cultivated a diverse set of skills. As a corrections officer from 2015-2017, she demonstrated strength and determination. As a financial aid specialist from 2017-2019, she showed how detail-oriented and organized she was. Starting in 2019, she took on roles at Honeywell such as Senior Buyer, Senior Site Supply Specialist, Procurement Lead, and Senior Materials Management Analyst. She often talked about how proud she was to be trusted and effective within her team there.

Kayrene adored being a big sister, and an aunt. Her ability to connect with people from all walks of life was a testament to her sincerity and warmth. She enjoyed being outside to go hiking and shooting. She became a dedicated football fan as an adult. Whether it was watching her Patriots dominate, or drafting her perfect fantasy team, the game brought fun and community into her life. She loved to teach and challenge herself in the kitchen, learning to perfect foods like meringues, grilled honey peaches, and sourdough bread. She was crafty when hosting events, and handy enough to work on her 1975 Ford F150. She was always happy to snuggle under a fuzzy blanket, especially while watching a show like Big Brother. To know Kayrene was to love her, and she will be forever missed.
