Obituary for River Hylinne Barclay
Sweet River Hylinne Barclay passed away Monday, November 18, 2019 at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital with her family by her side. She was 9. River was born on January 27, 2010 to John and Michelle (McClintock) Barclay in Aberdeen, WA. She attended school at A.J. West Elementary where the Make-A-Wish Foundation funded the River Resource Room in River’s honor.
River loved her family and enjoyed spending time with them at Sam Benn Park and the beach. However, snuggling up to watch her favorite shows while enjoying pumpkin pie or chocolate pudding had to be her favorite.
Some of River’s favorite things were The Last Unicorn, Frozen, Big Hero 6, My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash, Sherriff Callie, unicorns, butterflies, and anything purple. Her dogs Gwendolyn and Oban always brought a smile to her face with their wagging tails and loving nudges.
River is survived by her loving parents John Barclay and Michelle (Dan) Kinnaman both of Aberdeen; stepmother Courtney Barclay of Aberdeen; siblings Angel, Kristian, and Tyler; and grandparents Monica and Bill McClintock of Morgan Hill, CA, Marie Barclay of CA, and Emily Cook of Aberdeen, WA; and numerous loving family member and friends. She was preceded in death by her grandfather Lewis Philip Barclay and beloved dog Paisley.
