Makayla Virginia Curtis

It is with saddened and heavy hearts that we are announcing the passing of our beautiful babygirl, Makayla Virginia Curtis. She passed away unexpectedly on November 11, 2011 at Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 10. Makayla will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her sister Miranda, her father Kelly and her mother Joyce. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her grandparents, Ron Brown, Cathie Brown, Beth Brown, Delphine Curtis, Terry Curtis and Maureen Curtis, her great grandmother Erna Giese, as well as her aunts and uncles, Carol Brown, Dan Weatherly, Lorin Vigen, Cheryl Vigen, Ron Brown, Tracy Morley, Rick Curtis, Susan Klotz, Rod Klotz, Christene Curtis, Kevin Curtis and her many cousins, Monika Weatherly, Sam Weatherly, Ashley Curtis, Danielle Curtis, Anders Vigen, Sydney Klotz, Eric Vigen, Jenna Klotz and Sienna Vigen. She was predeceased by her Grandpa Teddy Bear, and cousins Amanda, Jaymie, and Gabrielle Curtis.

Makayla was a student at Rose Valley Elementary school. In her short life, she enjoyed and explored in many activities. Her most recent enjoyments were tap and hip hop classes and playing in her first year of basketball as number 46 alongside many of her school friends. Her face lit up when she mastered a new basketball skill and scored. She had taken music lessons and began with piano but decided to play the guitar in recent years and loved it! Makayla enjoyed going to music lessons alongside her sister and father who took lessons at the same school. Makayla is a quick witted, comical, affectionate and passionate spirit. She had grown in confidence, been consistent with her curiousity and enthusiasm in trying new things, and maintained a loyal and loving person to those she cared about.

In celebration of Makayla's uniqueness, we welcome you to wear mismatched socks!
