Kalena is such a beautiful sweet soul whose memory we will forever cherish. Kalena lives on in her beautiful son Boone and in all the memories we have as her family of her beautiful life. ❤️
She was such a wonderful teacher.
Miniota School was lucky to have her teach here.
She taught my daughter how to play basketball among many other things while in the school. She was a favourite throughout her time in the Miniota school.
So sad to hear of her passing.
Sympathy to all of her family ❤️ And friends.
My thoughts are with all of Kalenas family, friends, loved ones and anyone who has had the honour of having Kalena enter their life. She is such a special, beautiful and unique soul with the biggest, brightest smile and one of the most memorable and contagious giggles. I’m sending all my love and healing to the Greens and Davisons during this difficult time. May her soul and brightness live on through hers and Geoff’s son, Boone. ♥️
I met Kalena when she moved to Miniota to teach at our school. She lived in my rental house across from the school I also worked with her. She had a piece of my heart the moment I met her. Her smile and kindness will remain with me. I’ve found it hard to not think of her and the families this past few weeks. My love and deepest sympathy goes out to you all. She will remain in our hearts forever 🙏❤️
Our deepest sympathies to Kalena’s family. She was an amazing person. She taught all 3 of my kids in swim lessons. She would stop and chat with us any time she saw us out and about. She went above and beyond in everything she did. The world is truly a sadder place without this bright light. Rest in peace Kalena, you will be missed by so many. ❤️
Sincere sympathy to Theresa Myers in the past of her niece. May your memories of her provide you with comfort during this difficult time.
Oh sweet Miss Green u will always be in cameo and my heart forever u r such a beautiful girl u will be missed so very much and I want to thank u so very much for teaching my girl to be the best swimmer she is my heart is literally shattered to a million pieces Rip beautiful 💜💜💜
Kalena was a beautiful bright light in our community and she will always be missed. No matter what she acknowledged everyone passing by. Her smile was beautiful and kind.
My son loved having her as a teacher in grade 1. She loved and cared about her students as if they were her own. She made them feel special and important.
Thinking of you all.
Lots of love. Michelle, Terry, Preston and Brad.
Our broken hearts reach out to the many broken hearts of all who loved Kalena, a beautiful bright light gone much too soon. Our sincere sympathy to all, she will be sadly missed.
To the Davison & Green families,
Our hearts are broken and we grieve along with you at the tragic news of Kalena’s passing. May her beautiful spirit as a mother, fiance, daughter, sister and so much more live on in many beautiful memories.

Kalena is a beautiful young lady inside and out.She has touched the hearts of everyone.Her memory will shine through her beautiful son Boone.She will live on in the hearts of family and friends.Sincerely John and Annette McNeill and family
Such a tragic and devastating end to a promising life. Our love to the family and the little boy who will never know his mother.
Kalena was one of the most positive, kindest people I had the pleasure of knowing. She would light up any room she walked into. I will always remember the French classes we took in university together. She helped me through all of them thanks to her hardworking, no fail attitude.
I am sending my deepest condolences to her family during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
A heavy sadness swept over our community with the sudden absence of a young woman who’s presence has touched the hearts of many.
In our home Kalena was a coach, a teacher, a mentor, a tutor, a neighbour, an animal lover, and a friend.
Her kind heart, Loud contagious laughter, and caring nature will be missed immensely.
Sometimes it takes a village, Kalena was a part of our village.
To the family grieving, please knock on our door, if you find yourselves in need of any extra villagers.
I will forever remember playing baseball on the front lawn at the farm using whatever we could find for bases! You are always remembered! 💗
Kal, you were the light in everyone’s life, an amazing mother, soon to be wife, teacher, daughter and friend. You were always there with Jer and I and always made me laugh. Thank you for continually taking my photos and taking lex to the farm, we will miss you tons. You’re going to live forever through Boone, love you girl.
The world has lost a beautiful soul, she is such a delightful person, kind, sweet gentle. She will leave a huge hole in everyone’s hearts who knew her. Thoughts and love to her family as the navigate this loss. Life is forever changed.
This girl was a true gem. She has helped mold the young people of our community into the intelligent children they all are. Her smile and laughter was infectious. She truly was the kindest, gentlest, most caring human being I have ever come across. She will always hold a special place in the heart of our community and she will never be forgotten❤️ my heart is with you all
She was such a genuine person being the same age and growing up together she always had a smile on her face she was always kind to everyone. We need more like her. Rest easy you are missed my many
Sorry doesn’t begin to say how I feel for all.
My heart goes out to all the families and many lives she touched.
Our deepest sympathy to all of Kalena’s family and friends. So very sorry for your loss.
Don, Melanie, Jerry, but especially Geoff and your precious son,
I was so sad to hear of the loss of your daughter, your fiancee Kalena and Boones mommy. No amount of “sorry for your loss” can ever ease your pain. Although I didn’t know her, I hear she was an smazing young lady. A Young Woman of Distinction, basketball coach and beloved educator. She shaped the lives of her students both past snd present. Her memory will live on in all those she touched but especially in her precious son. May you find comfort in your memories and in each other at this difficult time.
Kalena left a mark on everyone who spent a moment with her. We are so lucky to have known someone so kind, and inspiring. Her memory is cherished by so many.
Rick, Jackie and Geoff and all other family members
So very sad to learn of Kalena’s passing
Our thoughts and prayers with you all
Karen and Bret Martin
Kalena was such a sweet soul who always went above and beyond for her students. As a mom with a strong willed child who has intellectual delays she was always included in the classroom activities. Jahlyrika even got the privilege to tell her classmates about Kalenas pregnancy announcement. Kalena was more than just a teacher and was so supportive of my daughter and her daily achievements. Her smile and laugh will be greatly missed and I know as a community we are all feeling all different types of grief. She left us too soon and will not be forgotten. My condolences to the entire family on both sides from my family to yours.
She’s the nicest basketball coach I’ve ever had, very patient and one of a kind. I will never forget Mrs. Green her true beauty and spirit ❤️❤️
Our family has been so deeply saddened by the tragic loss you are suffering. Please know that you are in our thoughts as you grieve and that we wish you peace as you begin the journey forward. the Karrouzes
The brightest light and kindest soul. She made high school look easy. Ill forever cherish basketball + volleyball memories because of Kalena, and Jerra. To Melanie, Jerra, Geoff, friends and family, my deepest sympathy ❤️
I had the pleasure of meeting Kalena only a few times but just like her sister, she lit up a room when she walked in it and left you feeling like you mattered. My heart filled sympathy to all of you. Kalena’s spirit will live through everyone she touched. It was an honour to have met her. Thinking of all of you during this difficult time.
Sincere sympathy to all of the Green and Davison families and Kalena’s many friends. Thinking of you every day. Donna Dobson, Karen Dobson and family
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Kalena well, though I know Geoff from way back in the day. Whenever Kalena was in a room or showed up on my feed, her face literally glowed with beauty. Your families, Geoff and their little guy have been in my thoughts constantly since hearing the news. I pray your strength get you though this insanely difficult time.
One good person can touch more heart then we’ll ever know💕
To everyone who knew and loved Kalena – Please accept our heartfelt and sincere condolences and know we are thinking of you all. There are no words to convey how deeply sorry we are for your loss. ~ Jean, Brian & family
It is with profound sadness that we share with you, at this tender time, how Kalena touched our hearts. In her short time teaching in Miniota school it was evident she was a treasure. She had a special way with the students. She will forever be remembered as a teacher that made a difference! Sincerely Randy, Michelle, Monelle, Baker & Hadley Bryant
I met Kalena years ago when we were teenagers. Her name was so beautiful and stuck with me; I named my daughter Kaleena.
I always remember her being so full of energy and engaging with everybody around her. I am so sorry for your loss.
There are no words to say how sorry I am for the loss of Kalena She had such a beautiful heart. So kind , always took time to speak to you. My heart is going out to the the Green, Davidson Families and little Boone 🦋❤️
I didn’t know Kalena well but it wasn’t necessary to know her well to feel the warmth and beauty of her spirit. The world has many wonderful people but she was so much more than that, it’s so very difficult to find the right words to describe how uniquely remarkable she was. Shocked, shattered doesn’t come close to explaining how I felt when I heard the news of her passing. The world was a much lovelier, kinder and way more fun place with her in it. Although this must be incomprehensible to her family and friends, I hope it comforts them to know that literally everyone that was ever fortunate enough to live even for a moment in the special glow that was Kalena, is the better for it! She will never ever be forgotten. 💔
Kalena was indeed an earth angel. She touched everyone’s soul with her smile, her kindness, and her eagerness to somehow remove a barrier or lift a load. I watched her in awe, teaching swimming lessons to young children (my son included). She was always engaged, always playful and always encouraging. She showed up and demonstrated her heart of gold everyday. A few years later, I enrolled in an adult aquacize program, where she displayed the very same. She was high energy, she could tell when students were struggling, she pulled everyone through with her beautiful smile & kind words of encouragement. The hearts she has touched in such a short time is incredible! What a sweet soul! She will be missed in our community. My heart goes out to the family and friends that are grieving her loss. Healing will take time.
May God bless you all,
Annie, Brian, Dez, Hannah & Jack Ramsey
Sending my deepest condolences to the friends, family and loved ones of Kalena. She was such a warm, welcoming and friendly soul. She will be remembered by her contagious smile, laugh and fun spirit.
I had the honor of being in her classroom when she was teaching. She loved those kids like they were her own. Her smile was infectious. She had a wonderful attitude and was one of a kind.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all families who are suffering terrible from the sad passing of Kalena . Our heart breaks for the little boy who will never know his mother. Hugs to all & may God give you all strength to get through this difficult time
Rick,Jackie & family so sorry for your loss our thoughts are with you. Rand & Jackie Steeves

She so relaxed and it truly a day to remember.
We did not know Kalena but now have super photos in our midst.
Share fond memories.

So many memories of the kindness Kalena showed Heather and Erin when they were settling into Carberry…
Her support of Liam when he was so frightened at swimming lessons ..
Her gentleness with animals and always time to stop and ask how you were doing
My prayers and thoughts are with you Melanie Jackie and her family that loved her so much♥️
I was young with Kalena, we went through our awkward years together , I stayed in them a little longer than the rest and Although I was bullied for being different Kalena was always kind and supportive to me keeping my secrets and always greeting me with a full heart. Melanie and Jerra you are such strong wonderful people I am so deeply sorry for your loss . You are in my heart every single day all of you and you will get through one day at a time. Do not isolate , share your feelings you are not alone. I love you , we love you and I will live the rest of my days with Kalena in my heart.

I cannot express how deeply saddened I am with Kalenas passing. Kalena brought so much joy to so many people. She was an incredible girl and I have nothing but fond memories of her. I know there are no words that I can say that will ease any of your pain. “It’s so much darker when a light goes out that it would have been if it had never shone.”
Thinking of you and all the family!
We wanted you to know we are thinking of you all as you wade through overwhelming grief.
Sending our deepest condolences to Kalena’s family & friends. With heavy hearts we send love, thoughts and prayers your way in this dark time. Rest easy, Kalena.

Sending you all love and support… there are so many broken hearts along with yours. Kalena was truly one of a kind, in so many ways she has made huge impacts on so many peoples lives. She will live on in her and Geoff’s beautiful son Boone. Also thinking of Geoff and the Davidson family. Ox
My heart breaks for the life lost of such a kind young soul. May the memories of you be cherished by the families and friends in this difficult time. Rest easy young lady.
Kalena was by far one of my favourite students when I taught her in grade 8. She was the girl who checked on her teacher after a hard class when the boys were giving me a hard time about having to learn French. She truly cared about me as a person and that’s what I’ll always remember about her! When I saw her again as a new teacher I knew she was in the right profession. Kalena touched so many lives. I’m so sorry that she was hurting so badly. My heart is breaking for her and all of her family and friends. Hold her baby and fiancé close dear Carberry community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Green and Davidson families. Kalena was a very special girl. She touched so many lives. Our hearts are broken to hear of her passing.
