LABAY: Stacie was born on a stormy morning January 2, 1981 to Dianne and Wayne Labay. Suddenly on October 15, 2014 she was taken from her family. The storm in this case left her daughter Mackenzie and their true inseparable love for each other in its wake. Left to cope with her passing are her daughter Mackenzie, parents Wayne and Dianne, sisters Cora (Mark) Pawluk of Shoal Lake, Whitney Labay (Zeb Hudon) of Winnipeg, aunts and uncles Jackie and Dave Witts of Calgary, Ken and Val Carton of Brandon. She was the loving aunt to Broden Veltri and Landon Pawluk, cousin to Tyler, Kayla and Carson Witts, Kristy and Kolby Carton. Stacie also leaves behind Mackenzie's father Alan Morden. Predeceased and caring for Stacie on her journey will be her grandparents Tony and Helen Labay, Byron and Barbara Carton and baby cousin Nicole Witts. Stacie was born and raised in Brandon and lived here all of her life. She graduated from Crocus Plains High School and then was employed in the food industry. Ten years ago the greatest Joy of her life was the birth of her precious daughter Mackenzie Lynn. Although she had many obstacles, she strived to give Mackenzie a better life and decided to continue her education by acquiring her Health Care Aide Certificate. With that she found employment at Rideau Park Personal Care Home where she worked until her passing. Stacie loved going to work to see the residents and co-workers. Her job meant a lot to her and was a big part of her life. She truly enjoyed caring for the elderly and they enjoyed her. When Stacie was not working, she and Mackenzie spent time together, camping, swimming and travelling. Her favorite trips were to Egypt and Arizona. A Funeral Ceremony to Celebrate Stacie's Life was held at Memories Chapel on Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Celebrant was Rev. Fr. Patrick Neufeld of St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church with a Testament reading by Nick Labay. Cousin Carson Witts of Sooke, British Columbia was the Urn Bearer. Interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery.
