Obituary For Aimée Munroe
MUNROE, Aimée Marie
On Friday, March 4, 2016, Aimée Munroe, age 14, passed away doing what she loved best, skiing at Marmot Basin in Jasper.
Aimée was born on January 23, 2002 completing the family for Justin and Fiona, and brothers Curtis and Connor. Aimée lived large and never held back. She had a fierce competitive spirit and took on everything with the singular goal of being nothing but the very best. Aimée was a brilliant student with an incredible mind and wit. She had many talents and passions: she loved skiing, ski racing and recently ski coaching, she loved reading, baking, crafting, creating, drawing and Zen doodling. Aimée loved animals, art, travel, roller coasters, classic 80’s rock, and most of all she loved her family.
Aimée spent the last 3 ½ years battling brain cancer and won. While it had left its scars on her, Aimée never wanted it to define her. Aimée was an inspiring philanthropist who from an early age was not able to turn away from need and used her talents and energy to try to help wherever she saw an opportunity. Aimée’s goal was to go to Harvard Medical School and become a Pediatric Endocrinologist. She wanted to be able to help children in the future find a quality of life that science is not currently able to provide.
Aimée will be desperately missed by her parents: Justin and Fiona; brothers: Curtis and Connor; grandparents: Dan and Gloria Munroe, and Barrie and Shirley Curtis; uncles, aunts and cousins: Tim and Karen Curtis (James, Greg, Heather), Eric and Wendy Hollebone (Gillian, Malcolm), Jason Munroe, Linnea Pearson (Melody) and Geoffrey Munroe (Aidan). She will be missed by her close friends, classmates, family friends and NAST ski family. Aimée touched the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of meeting her.
A Celebration of Aimée’s Life will be held Friday March 11, 2016, from 2:00 – 5:00pm, at Revolution Place in Grande Prairie (10017 99 Ave). Casual attire.
Donations in memory of Aimée may be made to The Grande Prairie Regional Hospital Foundation (10409 98 St., Grande Prairie, AB, T8V 2E8) (supportyourhospital.ca) who has established a Fund in Aimée’s name with the goal of creating a space at the new hospital dedicated to children’s arts & crafts. Alternatively, donations may be made to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation Attn: Neurosurgery Kids Fund (800 College Plaza 8215 112 St, Edmonton, AB, T6G 2C8) (neurosurgerykids.com) or the Nitehawk Alpine Ski Team (cheques to NAST c/o PO Box 22238 RPO Southview, Grande Prairie, Ab TV 6X1).
The family would like to express their gratitude for the outpouring of support and condolences.

Justin and Fiona, words can never assuage the loss of a child. While time and distance have kept us apart, we share your loss because we have fond memories of the Munro Family. Both Leita and I always enjoyed the boys, Geoff being a very close friend of our son, Darin. From what we read, Aimee was the type of daughter who would make any parent very proud. What an accomplished young lady! She was an accomplished athlete as well. We share your loss. No doubt you have many cherished memories of Aimee that will sustain you now and in the future. Best wishes

Dear Fiona, My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. May you find strength and comfort through the memories you all shared together. Aimée was a kind and beautiful soul who will be missed by many. â??We canâ??t know why the lily has so brief a time to bloom in the warmth of sunlightâ??s kiss upon its face before it folds into its fragrance and bids the world good night to rest its beauty in a gentler place. But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost and no one who has touched a heart can really pass away because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which theyâ??ve been a part.â?? ~ Ellen Brenneman With deepest sympathy, Michelle

Hello Fiona, I just wanted to say how much of an impression Aimee and you left upon me during your stay at the Glenrose a few years ago. Then I had the pleasure of seeing Aimee let loose at Neurosurgey Camp...and what a dynamo she was! She had a shy grin for us adults, but such a sense of mischief and humour amongst her peers. She was well loved .Aimee never let her cancer define her and I loved how she was going to go do...no matter what...including skiing (much to the angst of the physiotherapists!!) I am most saddened to hear of her untimely passing. My heart is heavy. Take care and please know that she will always be remembered. With warm thoughts, Tina Vogel Pediatric Nurse Practitioner - Glenrose Neurosurgery Kids Fund
