Lianne Tyler Lay
Lianne Tyler Lay was born October 5th, 1967 in Edmonton, Alberta to Marilyn and Floyd Lay. She passed away on October 11th, 2023 at the age of 56.
Lianne is survived by her three children, Dominic, Michael and Sade. Lianne will also be greatly missed by her loving brother Kevin, her three sisters, Stephanie, Natalie, and Ashlee, as well as her father Floyd, his wife Irene, and all of her nieces and nephews.
Lianne was predeceased by her brother Sean Lay on May 25th, 2022 and her mother Marilyn Lay (née Murray) on January 19th, 1990.
Lianne was affectionately known as Tyler to her close friends and family. Tyler was a passionate traveller and fulfilled her dream of living in a tropical climate, having resided in Turks and Caicos, and Miami. Tyler's greatest joy was bringing friends and family together, often cooking large meals and hosting many family gatherings.
She had a strong faith in God’s word and often meditated on God’s promise recorded in Revelation 21:4, “ and he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
This hit hard and I still cannot process it…when I came to Canada in 1987 Tyler was the first persons to become my friend…her and her family, mim Marilyn, brother Kevin and Sean made me feel so welcome whenever I saw them at the house in east Edmonton…she took me under her wing showed me around the city and introduced to so many people…always caring warm and kind to me…I babysat her kids, lived with her a while. She was there through all the celebrations and sorrows I had personally for many years…she was a great lady and a beautiful spirit who had a huge positive impact in my life…I will miss her and I will never forget how much she did to make this Trinidadian boy’s transition to life in Canada better…my deepest condolences to her children and family…may she find eternal rest in the arms of the Lord
I’m sending my deepest sympathies to your family L2. I have no words as I am struggling with this loss right now. Lots of love and prayers.
I cannot believe this when I saw it. I’m so in total shock. We danced many the night away at the GasPump. I will miss you L2. My deepest condolences to your family for their loss.
Deepest condolences and prayers for Lianne, her family and many friends. I worked with Lianne at TELUS in Edmonton. Her generosity, kind spirit and beautiful heart will be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Personally, Leanne introduce me to a world of food I didn’t know even existed. Spicy curry and Lianne are forever linked in my memory. My sympathies to all grieving her loss and may God bring solace to your hearts.
I’ll always remember Lianne as one of the kindest souls I have ever met. Whenever I worked with her at Starbucks, she treated me and all of our customers with respect and love. She brightened my day every time I saw her. She will be dearly missed.
Such sad and shocking news. Ive had the pleasure of working with Lianne at AMA membership and I was the lucky one to have been on her team. She was the best supervisor I have ever worked with. Always made me feel like I mattered, and she was always so encouraging and positive. What I will miss most about Lianne is her laugh and her voice. I always told her she was my gem.
Thoughts and prayers to her children and all family members.
She will be dearly missed.
This comes as a complete shock to me. I saw her at a birthday party less than a year ago. It was ages since I saw her, but we easily fell into talking and laughing and catching up like we did when we were in our twenties. She is such a warm and loving soul. My deepest condolences go out to her children, and her entire family.
Lianne was so integral on my growth as a leader both professionally and personlly. Lianne was so giving and supported so many on their journey in life. Lianne you will be so missed amd remembered.
Still can’t believe you are no more Lianne sleep in paradise my dear friend I will treasure our memories until we meet again, see you on the other side
