It is with profound sorrow that we remember the life of Calea Hawkins, a young child whose life was tragically cut short at just three years old. The Indianapolis community mourns the loss of this bright, innocent little girl, whose passing has left a lasting impact on family, friends, and all who have been touched by her story.
Calea was described by family as a joyful, curious, and vibrant child, full of life and potential. Though her time with us was far too brief, she brought happiness to those around her and inspired love in everyone she met. Her loss is not only a personal tragedy for her family but also a reminder of the vulnerability of children and the profound responsibility we all share in protecting them.
Family members, including Calea’s paternal grandmother, Katrina Clemens, have expressed the heartbreak of losing such a young life. Clemens described her granddaughter as a “baby with her whole life ahead of her,” emphasizing the innocence and promise that was taken too soon. While the circumstances surrounding Calea’s passing are deeply painful, her family hopes that her story will raise awareness about child safety and the dangers posed by substance abuse and neglect, underscoring the importance of vigilance and care for our youngest community members.
Calea’s brief life serves as a poignant reminder of the preciousness of every child and the need to cherish, nurture, and protect them. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, serving as a symbol of innocence and the love that children bring into the world.
