Kayliegh Lena Diana Jean Ivall

2005 - 2020

Kayliegh Lena Diana Jean Ivall was born December 13, 2005. She was tragically taken from us April 27, 2020, suffice it to say her time here was far too short. Only 14, she had her whole life ahead of her. She had such a big heart...she only saw the best in people, and none of their flaws. She had a natural tendency to take care of others, especially those in need. Kayliegh loved spending time with friends, and if you were fortunate enough to be among them, you knew how compassionate, loving, and caring she was. Kayliegh?had a tremendous love for music; she listened to everything from Elvis to Eminem. Our songbird Kayliegh was a gifted singer with a beautiful voice, recording many covers of her favourite songs in her room. She was a natural storyteller, crafting paragraphs and pages of funny and imaginative narratives or stories, all written in her own unique style. Kayliegh was talented in visual arts, which could be seen in her drawings or digital art, creating many unique characters, with a common theme of wolves. Kayliegh loved animals, especially dogs. She slept with Chubbers every night, and was heartbroken when her four-legged best friend Padme, died.

Kayliegh is lovingly survived by Mom Keri, Dad Les, siblings Mackenzi, Kodi (Amanda), her MuMu and Papa, Diana and Ed Laukka, Grumpy Grandpa, Grandpa Randy, Aunts Richele, Crystal S, Crystal I, Lisa, Uncles Ryan (Missy), George, John (Diana), cousin Patience, with whom she shared a special bond, and many other numerous cousins, family, and friends.

Kayliegh was predeceased by her Grandmother Jean Stec, Great Grandmothers Carol Stec, Frances Girardin and Doreen Gehl, Great Grandfathers Girardin, John Stec and Hank Gehl, and her cousins Linden Christopher Ivall and Tristan Shawn Arthur Gehl.
