MALLORY LAURA BYRON It is with profound sadness we announce the sudden passing of our sweet daughter and sister, Mallory on September 24, 2014. Mallory was born in Winnipeg at St. Boniface Hospital on February 27, 1993. She was predeceased by her great-grandfather, Edward Larret and her cousin, Sara. Left to cherish her memory are her loving parents, Ron and Debbie Byron and her older sister, Courtney. Mallory will be lovingly remembered by her fiancé, William Sangster. She's survived by her extended family; great-grandmother, Phyllis Larret; grandparents, Ervin and Ursula Byron; great-uncle Rob Larret (Fran); Aunt Corinne (Mark) Petsch; cousins, Mark, Danny, and Alex; Aunt Sandra (Lee) Melnic; cousins, Hannah, Brendan and Grace. From a young age, Mallory touched the lives of the people around her. At nine years old she was introduced to hockey, a passion that continued throughout her life. She excelled as a goalie and helped lead her team, the Miles Mac Buckeyes in her grade 11 year to win city champs. She continued her love of the game most recently in the role as a referee. Mallory graduated from Miles Mac Collegiate in 2011 and went on to study at the University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg and Red River College. Mallory was passionate about her new found career as a Personal Trainer at Good Life Fitness. Mallory's love of life took on many forms and activities from scrapbooking to spending time with friends and family. Mallory always had a special place in her heart for animals, particularly her beloved cats and the most recent addition to the zoo, her dog Easa. Mallory was excited planning her wedding to her fiancé William. She was especially excited to be shopping for a maid of honour dress for her sister Courtney. Mallory was adored by her young cousins Hannah, Brendan and Grace. She embraced taking on a caregiver role to her special cousin Hannah. Mallory took great pride in being a godmother to her cousin and kindred spirit Grace. Mallory had a gift for putting others first and making those around her feel special. Special thanks to Ian Wight, Kim Marion, Helen Dawson, Cindy Skelly, Daryl Lucyshen, Lawrence Sierhuis, Trevor and Fillitsa Schillington and all the friends who have reached out to support the family during this devastating time. A memorial service will take place at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, 1315 Gateway Road, Winnipeg, MB. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Children's Hospital CK5, 840 Sherbrooke Street, Winnipeg, MB. R3A 1R9 or the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, MB. R3T 0R3.

  • If words will even help: I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said, For you to love the while she lives, and mourn for when she's dead. It may be six or seven years, or forty two or three, But will you, 'til I call her back, take care of her for me? She'll bring her charms to gladden you. And should her stay be brief, You'll always have your memories as solace in your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I've looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true, And from the folk that crowd life's lane, I have chosen you. Now will you give her all your love and not think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again. I fancy that I heard them say, 'Dear God Thy will be done', For all the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We will shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may, And for all the happiness we've ever known, we'll ever grateful stay. But should the angels call her much sooner than we'd planned, We will brace the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. Edgar Guest. - Posted by: Karen Rice (Co-worker) on: Sep 30, 2014

She got so much pleasure from watching me reach my fitness goals. She made me feel like I could do anything. But more than that, she cared about me as a person, not just as a client. I loved her spirit and her kind heart. I will truly never forget her! Many prayers for her fiancé, family, and friends. - Posted by: Carin Hiebert () on: Sep 29, 2014
