Obituary of MAYA KARIN PERSON

MAYA KARIN PERSON It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of Maya Karin Person, beloved daughter of Susan and Brian Person on Monday, November 7, 2016. Maya was born Wednesday April 12, 1995 in Winnipeg. She was a miracle baby; and a true gift to the world! Maya was blessed to have all four great grandmothers awaiting her arrival. Maya attended Ecole Riverbend, ESOMS, Garden City Collegiate and was currently in her fourth year of film studies at the University of Winnipeg. She was employed by Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. She is survived by her parents Susan and Brian Person, her grandparents Edie and Gunnar Person, many aunts, uncles and cousins in Canada, Denmark and Poland, her niece/Goddaughter Alexandra Maya, another niece on the way, and her many dear friends. She was predeceased by her maternal Grandparents Else and Henry Kozubski. Maya was a supernova who shone so bright. She was a life force and always the life of the party. Maya had countless friends who were all very important in her life and she was always planning the next party, bonfire or event to spend time with them. The times spent at the family cottage at Falcon Lake were especially important to Maya. Maya was a passionate sports fan (go Bruins go!), a certified a scuba diver and a world traveler. She saw more places in her 21 short years than most people would see in a life time. Maya will be truly missed by her family and friends. A celebration of her life will be held at 1 pm, Saturday, November 12 at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. It would make Maya very happy if you showed up in your favorite sports team Jersey. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice. Cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held at a later date. MEASURE YOUR LIFE NOT IN THE YEARS THAT HAVE PASSED BUT IN THE LOVE THAT HAS BEEN GAINED
