Jayden Rose Marcellais was born on June 7, 1993 in Grand Forks, ND to Kevin Keplin and Angel (Marcellais) Gladue.  Jayden was raised in Fargo, ND, until the 5 ^th grade.  She then moved to Belcourt where she attended middle and high school.  She graduated from Turtle Mountain Community High School in 2011, where she participated in volleyball and basketball.  Jayden furthered her education at Turtle Mountain Community College, where she earned a 9-month phlebotomy certificate.

Jayden was very outgoing and enjoyed spending time with her friends.  Her laugh and smile were infectious because Jayden had the best sense of humor.  Her family and friends lovingly remember her for her "blonde moments" and her favorite meal of noodles and soy sauce.  Jayden worked jobs at N8's, The Viking, and Buffalo Wild Wings.  She was the loving mother of two wonderful boys, Elijah Knox (8) and Matthew Roman (5).  Jayden's boys were the light of her life and they will miss her dearly.  She took pride in her appearance and she always made sure her makeup was perfect.  Jayden enjoyed being on her phone and her computer.  She also collected items representing her favorite basketball team, the Chicago Bulls.  Jayden spent a lot of time with her brothers, Dylan and Kalvin.
