Obituary of MELISSA LUFF
Melissa Louise Luff
On August 22, at 36 years old, Melissa passed away unexpectedly due to swelling in her brain caused by Viral Meningitis. The exact strain of the virus doctors are still struggling to identify. This uncertainty may have led to Melissa’s passing.
Melissa is predeceased by her father Doug Mackenzie and father-in-law Jorge Avila. She is survived by her partner Richard Avila and two beautiful children Nicholas and Annabella, her mother Ruth and stepmom Janet; her siblings Aimée (Mark), Savannah, Haley (Andrew), Rhoni (Andrew), Gordie and Bryan; in-laws Hortensi, Paul (Ashley) and many other family members and friends.
Melissa went to Grant Park High School and the University of Manitoba. Her path led her to become a statistician with the Manitoba Bureau of Statistics. She enjoyed listening to music and traveling, sometimes combining the two.
Family and friends were incredibly important to Melissa, she never let anyone’s birthday slip by without a video, call or text. However, the most important thing to Melissa was being a mother. Her children meant the world to her, and she approached motherhood with love, commitment, and joy.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the “In Memory of Melissa Luff” Go Fund Me page.
A service will be held for Melissa on Thursday, August 29 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Please come and honor the life of an amazing woman.
Moon rise
And sun go down
Turn my whole world around
Little star up in the sky
Tell my sweet baby
Please don’t cry
Please don’t cry
Travel out
Across the burnin’ sand
Across the ocean
To some distant land
When we reach the end
We’ll all be singin’
And we’ll all be friends
Back where it all begins
