We Remember
HENNING, Jaylea Alana
September 2, 1987 — February 2, 2021
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our precious Jaylea Alana Henning on February 2, 2021, at the age of 33. Jaylea is survived by her mother Cynthia Myers, her father Kerry Henning, and sisters Natasha and Larissa. She was predeceased by her loving grandparents Alfred and Norma Myers, her Uncle Ross Myers, and her fur baby Oscar.
Born September 2, 1987, Jaylea was raised in Winnipeg, MB. As a child she enjoyed spending her time reading and drawing because she loved school and learning. She would always earn high marks and was known for her many “3r” awards. She had taken many courses, had a few bursaries and spoke a few languages. She was a beautiful child who could always be found dragging around her stuffed seal! As an adult Jaylea became a very kind soft-spoken woman with a beautiful soul. One who was intelligent, artistic, spiritual, and brave. With her humour and smile she could light up a room. She enjoyed good food and cooking. She recently settled in West Kelowna, BC and could be found spending time at the beach, hiking, rollerblading, or with her mom.
Jaylea was a proud loving aunt to nephews Dylan, Nathan, Kivan and Zerevan. She leaves behind many family and friends who cared about her deeply as she did about them. She will live on forever in our hearts and others through her organ donations.
Cremation has taken place and a family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Mental Health Awareness.

Always had time to say hello very sweet lady
I believe that there is no greater grief than that of losing your most precious blessings from god when you lose a child. No words or time can ever heal that part of you that is lost forever. We only know how to move forward with that deep ache and loss. The greater the love the greater the loss. Sending you all my love, sympathy and strength. Love always Cindy McRae
Wishing you peace to bring comfort and the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. May her soul Rest In Peace. I believe that God will accept her with open arms for all the good she has done while she was on this earth. My condolences to you and your family.
I just sent a condolence but I forgot to put who it was for. It was for Jaylea Henning family.
Dear Cynthia and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss of this beautiful soul. My condolences to all.

I am truly heartbroken with the loss of Jaylea. She came into our life as a young girl and had a place in our hearts. She was always with Alecia spending holidays out in Sandy Hook with us, and spending many days/nights with us. She was like another “daughter” , we loved her so much.
You will always be loved and remembered.
I will always remember Jaylea with the biggest smile on her face. Her laughter would put you at ease immediately. Although I didn’t know her well, I am very sad to hear of her passing and am sending love and positive vibes to her family. ❤
To Cynthia & family, thank you for sharing Jaylea to all of us because she helped us be better human beings. I, many years ago stood at a very spiritual place, Mount Sinai in Egypt where tradition tells Moses recieved the ten commandments.As a child I always wanted to visit this mountain because it gave me hope and a sense of something completely more powerful than me or anyone. Thank you Jaylea for being the catalyst for allowing me to share my feelings to her which put me at the summit of Mount Sinai once again. Jaylea’s spirit will always be with us and I will take her to the summit of Mount Sinai when my journey is over. PG.
Thank you everyone for beautiful comments
To the Henning and Myers family, so very sorry to learn of your loss. I pray that she rests in peace.

Sending my deepest condolences to Jayleas entire family and friends. Jaylea was a classmate of mine recently when we took the EA program. She was such a caring soul and always a joy to be around. She left an inprint on all her classmates hearts and I know I will never forget her. RIP. I’m so sorry for this great loss.
Cindy my heart breaks for you and your family. A parent should not have to suffer the loss of one of their children. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Anne and Bruce.
I am very sorry for your loss and wish your family strength during this difficult time.
