      Haley R. Severit, 31, of Belleville, IL, passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, in St. Louis, MO.

      She was born on July 2, 1990, in Belleville, IL, to Lisa Grotefendt.

      Haley lived in Belleville, IL for the last 4 and a half years, moving from St. Jacob, IL. She was an art lover, fond of drawing and painting. Haley took joy in helping others. Growing up, she would assist her grandpa in building various items, and help him hang Christmas lights, especially on the blue spruce outside their home. She enjoyed helping her grandma around the house and baking many goodies. Later in life, she would volunteer around her apartment complex to take care of the grounds, becoming great friends with her neighbors. She loved spending time with and taking care of Michael’s cats, finding great joy watching Tigger and Milo. Haley had a good heart, always caring for others before herself.  She will be dearly missed.

      She is survived by her mother, Lisa (Don Barnhart) Grotefendt; boyfriend, Michael File; brother, Josh (Roxanne) Severit; grandparents, Darwin and Wanda Grotefendt; uncles, Dave (Denise) Grotefendt, Kent (Lynn) Grotefendt; cousins, Megan Grotefendt, Ryan Grotefendt, Christopher Grotefendt, and Adam Grotefendt.
