With sadness we announce the sudden passing of Klyona Tristen Sumner, along with her partner, Jeremy Barker on April25 at the age of 27 years.
Klyona leaves to mourn her son, Lorenzo; her siblings, Carlet (James), James, Randy (Emma), Marcella, Jacob, Ethel, Maryjane and Valentine Jr.; grandparents, Brenda and Darlene; nieces and nephews, Elliot, Ella Rose, Ember, Dante, Kalani, Delaneaux and Danileaux, Bryceon, Bronson and Ashton; aunties, Teresa, Krystal, Daisy and Rachel; uncle, Kevin; second mom, Bonnie Barker; along with numerous cousins, aunties, uncles and other relatives.
Klyona was predeceased by her parents, Valentine and Shawna; brother, Kesson; grandparents, Albert and Orville; great grandparents, Ethel & George, Morris & Mary and Rosalie & John; as well as numerous other relatives.
Klyona loved to joke around and make people laugh. She was all about ‘peace and love.’ She didn’t like to see people sad, so she’d do something to cheer them up and make them smile. She will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who helped look after Klyona, and to all her friends that were there for her. Thank you to Gina and Bonnie Barker for always opening up their homes to her and for looking after Klyona & Jeremy and for giving them a safe place to stay. Also thank you to the Little Saskatchewan First Nation Chief & Council and Anderson Family Funeral Home, the kitchen helpers and those who donated.

You Meant So Much
By: Cassie Mitchell
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.
