Our darling Shyla Rae finished her journey on January 24th, 2023 at the age of just 33 years. She was born in Colorado Springs, CO on December 14th, where she spent most of her life. Shyla followed her passion of helping others by completing her Bachelor’s program in Criminal Justice at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. With her fearless fighting spirit, she faced daily challenges working as a youth guidance counselor and then moving onto becoming a probation officer in Denver where she had a robust positive impact on individuals living through their darkest times.
Shyla left behind a loving mother, Allyson, father, Lance, brother, Kyle, Daughter Sequoia, husband, Dion, grandparents Lois and Rudy Cross, Barbara and Charles O’Neill, and Betty Mihalko, in addition to many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Shyla loved her family before all else. She shared a special bond with her mother, and best friend. Shyla dreamt of moving to the same city as her brother so she could see her perfect daughter grow up alongside her cousins, just as she had enjoyed so much. She possessed a passion for traveling, her felines, fine cuisine, and above all else, caring for her darling daughter.
If you are able, please make a donation in Shyla’s name to the Suicide Prevention and Resource Coalition via GoFundMe (www.gofundme.com/nfupa-suicide-prevention).
