Hailey Elizabeth Westcot passed away unexpectedly from a motor vehicle collision with a wrong-way driver on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025, on I-89.
Hailey was born on Sept. 28, 2004 to Beverly (Dezotell) and Matthew Westcot. She was cherished and a joy to her family with her constant smiles, silliness, and happy temperament. In later years, two more daughters, Hannah and Leo arrived and she proved herself as a protective big sister. Following her parents divorce and experiencing new blended families, she became a little sister and took on new responsibilities always with a happy heart.
Growing up in Randolph, she attended Randolph schools and graduated in 2023. She excelled in studies and even received accolades in the cybersecurity training through the criminal justice program at Randolph Technical Career Center. Following high school graduation, she began working at Northfield Elementary School as a custodian and was attending O’Brien’s Aveda Institute in Williston to become a cosmetologist. She was revered by classmates and instructors alike, and many have expressed their gratitude of having her touch their lives.
Hailey had an adventurous spirit. She and her partner, Hustin Jarvis, frequented Vermont Sky Diving Adventures, in the past year, jumping two times in tandem. She wanted to travel abroad and mentioned wanting to travel to Hawaii and other tropical locales. Her interests were varied and included knitting, drawing, sewing, antiques and she was starting to show interest in photography, but her passion was for animals and especially her cats, Jasper and Smokie.
Hailey was predeceased by her mother, Beverly Dezotell, one year prior, in a car accident also.
She is survived by her father and stepmother, Matthew and Laura Westcot of Randolph Center; sisters Hannah and Leo Westcot; stepbrothers Hunter and Maven Larrabee of Randolph; her grandparents Allison and Gary Wade of Bridgewater Corners, Patricia Hodgdon of Randolph, Guy and Johanne Samson of Barre, Bennett and Lou Westcot of Wilder; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and her partner Hustin Jarvis of Northfield and his extended family, as well as Jasper and Smokie.
Kingston Funeral Home in Northfield is handling all arrangements and a celebration of Hailey’s life will come at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to: Kitty Korner Cafe, 214 North Main Street, Suite #1, Barre, VT 05641
