 Kressley was born in Taber on March 24, 2007, to proud parents Carla and Lee Clarkson and her eight big brothers. Her tiny nose and big eyes quickly stole their hearts but it didn’t take her long to assert her dominance and show them all who was the boss. Kressley was her father’s little firecracker, a force to be reckoned with. She was her mother’s inseparable other half and partner in crime. 

 Kressley was so full of life, never letting anything get in the way of her dreams. If she wanted it – she got it, including two more brothers and a sister she told everyone was coming. Her soul knew no limits. Kressley was an advocate for the world she lived in and determined to rid it of all the injustice it held. She loved those around her with every morsel of her being. Kressley fiercely protected those she loved and wanted everyone she knew to feel special, determined to make the world a better place.
