KAYLE McGROGAN

March 15, 1988 ~ October 14, 2017

It is with utter sadness that we say goodbye to our sweet girl, Kayle Leigh McGrogan. She was loved so much by her amazing common-law man, Sean O'Beirn; her mother and father, Sherry and Andy McGrogan and her brother, Ryan. Our little beauty's body finally gave out after years of struggle and pain related to type 1 diabetes and the complications of that terrible disease. Kayle was an incredible human being who cared deeply about all around her, had a tremendous sense of humour and a love for animals especially her dogs, Etney and Halo. She has an amazing extended family and a great number of beautiful friends that she cared deeply about and who cared about and for her. She also was a person who held justice in high regard and had a deep respect for the men and woman of the Medicine Hat Police Service who along with the paramedics did a very special job of attending her residence on Saturday and finding her passed and already in heaven praying for all of us. We are having a small remembrance and prayer session for family and close friends at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. A Celebration of Kayle’s life will be held at Hillcrest Evangelical Church, 3785 – 13 Avenue S.E., Medicine Hat on Thursday, October 19, 2017, at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Steve Paul officiating. A Private Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery with a time of fellowship thereafter at Hillcrest Church where we, as a family, look forward to meeting with everyone there to share fond memories and fellowship. Please honour Kayle by wearing what you love… she was all about bling! (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at http://www.cooksouthland.com).
