Kayla Suzette Roach, 25, passed away Monday, June 25, 2012, at Memorial Medical Center.

She was born on Jan. 11, 1987, to Timothy A. and Sheila K. (Golliher) Roach. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Francis “Whistle” and Lila Golliher, and her maternal great-grandparents.

Kayla is survived by her parents, Tim and Sheila Roach; grandparents, Roxie and LaVena Roach and Vivian Golliher; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Kayla attended Edwin Lee School from the age of 3 until she graduated in 2009. If you met her, you loved her. She touched so many hearts. Her bright, sometimes bull headed personality and beautiful smile will be missed by all who knew her. Kayla loved to travel with Mom and Dad and her Grandma and Grandpa Roach on vacations. She brought into the lives of her parents many, many wonderful people, and for that we thank her.

A Celebration of Kayla’s Life will be held at her home from 2 until 5 p.m. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Casual attire is requested.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Edwin Lee School to benefit the Special Education Dept., 1201 Bunn Ave., Springfield 62703.
