It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Krista Roffey after bravely fighting melanoma cancer. Krista was vacationing in Cuba, a trip that was planned for many months, to enjoy sun and sand, surrounded by close friends and lots of love.
Forever beloved wife and best friend of Tyler Roffey, and incredibly devoted and loving mother to Blake and Mariah. Precious daughter of Tim and Denise Saliga. Cherished sister of Kerry (Melissa) Saliga; and Holly (Zac) Carswell. Loving and caring Aunt to Connor, Adalynn and Lucas. Granddaughter of Sylvia Hennessy and Elaine Saliga. Daughter-in-law of Mark and Lou Ann Roffey; and Violet Roffey and Derek Partridge. Sister-in-law to Jared and Brittani Roffey and loving Aunt to Ally and Ben. Krista will be dearly missed by many close Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends.
Krista was a shining light and bright star for us all. Vibrant and full of life and love. She was fiercely loyal and protective of her children and loved ones. Her kindness, strength, grace, sense of humor and gentle heart will always be remembered. She will be cherished. She will be treasured. She will be missed.
A special thank you to Dr. Butler and the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre team for their support and care. A thank you as well to Krista’s Uncle Dan for his kindness and help.
In lieu of flowers, or should it be desired, a donation can be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation https://thepmcf.ca/about-the-foundation, or to the immediate family’s designated GoFundMe page.
A Celebration Gathering will be held Saturday April 29th, 2023, from 3 - 5pm at the Castleton Sports Club Canteen, 150 Cemetery Road, Castleton Ontario, K0K 1M0.
Well Krista, it has been almost 3 months since you left us and I am now finally able to send you my love. You came into my life with the introduction by Jayson when you went to the Prom with him! "Don't give her a hard time mom, Krista is a really nice girl" said Jayson! He was right- you are a lovely girl! You have always been my 4th daughter and helped me in many ways. You worked so hard to obtain your real estate license and also worked with me- you were awesome and related to many of our younger clients! I witnessed you as a gorgeous bride marrying Tyler and having your beautiful children Blake and Mariah. I also witnessed you become a fierce fighter in your battle with cancer. You NEVER gave up and fought with dignity, grace and courage. You gave me huge amounts of inspiration during our many chats over this dreadful disease. I waited long enough to send you this note, as I have had great amounts of 'survivor's remorse'..."why a beautiful young mom like you???" It took a while, but I hear your voice in my head saying 'suck it up and get working'!!! You always had a gentle way of looking at the situation- I will treasure that forever. We are all here for Tyler, Blake and Mariah. My eyes are starting to get 'sweaty' so time for me to "suck it up and get back to work!!" Rest well my sweet girl. Love you very much. Your 'other' mother. xoxo
Denise and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. Heather and family
So sorry to hear of Krista's passing. She was so full of life even with the battle she was fighting. A devoted Mom. Knew her from the ballpark watching Hadley & Blake play ball. A wife & mother you should all be proud of. Keep her memory alive! Eric & Carol Buttar (Craig's parents & Hadley's grandparents)
There are no words to say how sorry we are for your loss
