Rebeka Kylie Roy
It is with profound sadness
that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter,
granddaughter and niece, “Rebeka” – at 23 years
– on Friday, December 14th, 2018, at
the Dr. Georges-L. Dumont University Hospital Centre Intensive Care
unit in Moncton. She was surrounded by her loving and dedicated
family, caring ICU staff and a longtime best
friend.
Rebeka was the precious
daughter of Chantal and Nathan Roy, big sister to brothers Alek and
Loik, and little sister Karielle; she was a beloved granddaughter to
Jaqueline and the late Yvon St-Amant of Moncton, and Charles and
Barbara Roy of Shediac Cape. She was a special niece to Robert
St-Amant and his wife Marina of Barrie, ON, and Pamela Roy of Shediac
Cape.
Although faced with the many
challenges of Cerebral Palsy – Rebeka remained determined to
live a normal life – fulfilling her dreams with the ongoing
support of her loving family and special caretakers. She graduated
from High School, was escorted to her Prom; she went on annual
holidays to Florida – visiting all the attractions around
the Orlando area, and Spring and Fall shopping sprees in Bangor were a
“must”! She enjoyed going to films, and novels read aloud to
her. She was a Big Brother and Bachelor fan… And having her
nails done was a must.
In the summer she loved
getting tanned and being in a warm pool while listening to good music
and taking walks in nice weather with family and
friends.
Rebeka had such a
determination to live… through multiple surgeries requiring
long rehabilitation, she remained a fighter, but sadly, this time, God
called her home to rest. She will be with her grandfather, Yvon, in
heaven. All who were blessed to have loved and known her…
have truly become better people for it. She is now looking down on us
all and she can now finally walk and dance… her heart
out.
A Service to celebrate
Rebeka’s life will be held from Fergusons Funeral Home
Chapel, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995) on Thursday, December
20, 2018 at 2:00 pm. Reception following the service in the Funeral
Home Reception Centre.
In lieu of flowers, a donation
to the IWK Halifax (iwkfoundation.org
or 1-800-595-2266)
would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences for Rebeka may
