Haileigh Jane Roberts

Haileigh Jane had a beautiful spirit and was a friend to all. Her smile could light up a room and was very beloved by her family and friends. Haileigh Jane Poolaw Roberts passed away from this world suddenly on Monday May 25, 2026. She was born July 11, 2002 to Logan Poolaw at Norman Regional Hospital Porter Campus in Norman, Oklahoma. She was a precocious child who loved animals; in her lifetime she raised chickens, turtles, geckos, and a large Bearded Dragon she kept for 6 years named Harambe.

Haileigh attended school at Monroe Elementary in Norman, Cheyenne Middle School in Edmond, Oklahoma, Edmond Santa Fe High School, and finally graduated high school from Sulphur High School in Sulphur, Oklahoma. During her time at Sulphur she joined HOSA, Future Health Professionals (the Health Occupation Students of America group) and placed in several state academic tournaments including first place in Medical Terminology and Anatomy. She was recognized at the Oklahoma HOSA conference where it was announced that she was to compete at Disney World for the HOSA Annual International Leadership Conference. Also in High School Haileigh earned her CNA and was employed at the Sulphur VA during the pandemic where she cared deeply about health prevention for her patients. After High School, Haileigh furthered her education at The University of Oklahoma, where she fulfilled her undergraduate requirements. At OU she participated in the GEN cohort (Genomics and Ethics Program for Native Students). Also at OU, Haileigh joined the sisterhood of Gamma Delta Pi where she made many friends from different Native backgrounds. She once served on their council specializing in mediation and social media. Most recently Haileigh had taken courses to become a Pharmacy Tech at Walgreens, where she worked. She was just shy of taking the qualifying test.

On November 11, 2022 she delivered Leondro Tyus Rivas into the world with her companion Chandler Rivas. Her little family was her most cherished people and Leondro was the apple of her eye. She and Chandler enjoyed taking him out on walks, to the Farmer's Market and to the park. Their favorite thing to do was explore and travel. She loved her family so much.
