Destiny Dawn Taillieu

She will be lovingly remembered by her mom Shelly Taillieu; grandfather Wayne Taillieu; aunts Tammy Taillieu (Brent Griffin) and Jody Ferraro (Dale Obodzinski); her “pseudo-siblings” Kayla, Brett, and Miya; cousins Jordyn, Nick, and Brandee (Dan); her long-term boyfriend Sean Neufeld; father Lyle Brown; and many other family members and friends.

She was predeceased by her grandmother Lynda Taillieu; great-grandparents Marcel and Heather Taillieu and Fred Ritchot; great aunt Elaine Pitman; and cousin Wendy Halleran.

Destiny was born November 10, 1995 at the Victoria Hospital. She grew up in a small town called St. Adolphe. She attended École St. Adolphe School from kindergarten to grade 8, where she met some of her closest, lifelong friends. During her childhood, Destiny loved playing sports – figure skating, cheerleading, diving, curling, ringette, and softball. She also loved animals, especially her dog Duncan.

Destiny was an extremely smart and determined young person – often working two jobs, graduating from St. Norbert Collegiate a year early in 2012, and embarking on her university career. She was a leader and an advocate – passionately fighting for the many causes she believed in and trying to make the world a more caring and compassionate place. Destiny also struggled with mental health and addiction issues during her short life, but battled to stay with us all until the end. We will miss you.

A celebration of Destiny’s life will take place at 2:00pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard, Winnipeg, MB.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Destiny’s memory to Tamarack Recovery Centre (tamarackrehab.org) or to the Winnipeg Humane Society (winnipeghumanesociety.ca).

“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, As long as I’m living, My baby you’ll be”
