Today as a family, we have the heartbreaking task of informing all of our loved ones and friends that Kayla Joleen Roode, found peace on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. Kayla was born in Truro to adoring parents, Wade Roode and Lisa Roode (Cameron) who has sadly has passed on.

Once again Kayla is cuddled up safe in her mother’s arms. She now sits amongst her loved ones who have gone before her; Kayla’s beautiful sister, Kristen Beaton (Roode); Kayla gets to hold Baby Beaton who we’ve never met yet; Nana, Joan Cameron (Higgins); Grampie, Randall Cameron and Grampie, Eugene Roode; cousin, Deke Cameron; uncle, Shawn Roode.

Kayla’s favourite guy in her life is her beloved dad, Wade Roode, North River, her favourite brother, Richard Roode and her sister-in-law, Shannan Roode of Belmont; brother-in-law, Nick Beaton, Belmont.

Kayla’s most happy place on earth was when she was with her three adorable nephews. They brought so much joy to her; Daxton Beaton, Cameron Roode and Jaxson Roode. Kayla also left behind her great grandmother, Margaret Roode (MacQuarrie); grandmother, Bonnie Roode (Lynds) and grandmother, Sybil Cameron; and her partner, Kat Smith.

Kayla worked at Kohler Windows in Debert. She loved animals and everything in nature. She loved going on long hikes through the woods, climbing rocks or just sitting listening to the water flowing by. Kayla loved being in nature and that’s where she found peace within. All the outside noise would be blocked out by the swaying of the trees or the tweeting of the birds or a random butterfly landing on her shoulder.

Honouring Kayla’s wishes, there will be no funeral. If so desired, donations to Hearts Haven Park in Debert are welcomed. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall-Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Tributes, words of comfort and memories may be shared at: www.mattatallvarnerfh.com

Our families are not who we use to be
Our families are definitely not the same,
The only thing in our family that hasn’t changed
Is the spelling of our last names.

Kayla’s soul was placed on angel wings
And that morning sunrise set her free
To sing and dance to watch over things
We loved you Kayla but disagreed
Tomorrows will come and go
But our love for you will continue to grow

As you sit at a table full of loved ones we still miss and mourn,
Talking about everything that’s happened.
Please Kayla from us give them all a kiss,
Tell them all just how much they’re loved and missed.
