Willow Rae Blades

Willow Rae Blades, age 1, of Middletown, passed away on Sunday, May 19, 2024.

Willow entered the world in an unforgettable chaotic way and since birth has been the calm in the chaos. She had the most beautiful eyes and her smile was infectious. She was easy going and very flirtatious. She adored her older brother Wyatt and followed him around like she was his shadow. Willow turned one year old on May 3 and was celebrated surrounded by family and friends. She adored her fur brothers and loved giving them smooches. She always lit up a room and made a lasting impact on everyone she came in contact with. Willow Rae will forever be in our hearts.

Willow is survived by her parents, Zack and Bailey Blades; brother, Wyatt Blades; grandparents, Patricia Petrucci (Mary Euston), Melissa Blades and Mark Blades (Tonia); great grandparents, Harvey Petrucci, George and Betsy Pyle and her aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family.
