Melissa Anne Wall

I was born in Calgary, AB to Steve and Carol Wall on June 27, 1991. I was raised in Calgary until I was 5/6 years old. My parents had 3 children, Trevor Wall, myself, and Jenna Wall. We moved to Grimshaw, AB where I started grade one at Grimshaw Elementary School. From there, I went to Grimshaw high school and then proceeded to Peace River high school where I graduated. During Jr. high and Sr. high, I participated in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. After graduation from high school, I remained in the air cadets as a civilian instructor for 2 more years. When I was 17 years old, I was hired at the Grimshaw Hospital where I started my career in health care working as a health care aid.

On May 28, 2014, my son (Ethan Wall) was born. Since then, we have gone on many adventures with traveling and exploring what life has to offer. Some of the trips we have made has been down the Jasper when Ethan was 2 years old. We have traveled to Mackenzie to go on camping trips with close friends. In 2021, we went to Jasper/Banff on a trip with my parents and then headed to Calgary to go to Calaway Park.

In 2016, I decided to become a first aid instructor along with a babysitting instructor which has brought many good memories from all classes.

In 2023, I got my bus driving licence. That fall, I put my health care career on hold to pursue a different career path which led me to becoming an Education Assistant at the Hines Creek Composite School.

After many years of searching, I met the love of my life, Eric Laybolt, in January of 2023. It was love at first site. After only a month, Eric moved in with Ethan and me. Our first trip together was going to Jasper as a family. Our first "scary moment", when I knew he was the one for me and Ethan, was when the wildfires surrounded our small town, and we chose to evacuate. We have enjoyed many ski trips, camping, and road trips with the family.

I am survived by: Parents (Steve & Carol Wall), Spouse (Eric Laybolt), Son (Ethan Wall), Brother (Trevor Wall, Lauren Heath, Gage), Sister (Jenna Allen, Dennis Allen, Jason, and Avery). Aunties (Marie Worobetz, Rose Thurlow, Janice Worobetz, Stacy Ramsey-Wall). Uncles (Ian Wall, Dennis Worobetz). Grandma (Irene Wall).

I am pre-deceased by: Uncle (Lyle Thurlow, Nick Worobetz), Grandpa (Alan Wall) and honorary grandparents (Olga and Bill Fedoruk), cousin (Dale Thurlow), and Baby Hudson Lyle Blair Wall.

I wish you all well until we meet again.

Oh, and please no sad songs at my celebration of life. Have a drink and some laughs for me.
