Kailyn E. Thola of Hamilton, Montana passed away early in the morning on Saturday, November 26, 2016 as a result of a tragic automobile accident near Tarkio, Montana.
She was born May 14, 1998, in Hamilton, Montana to Mark and Laurena (Thuney) Thola. She was known as Kailyn by many but her closest family referred to her as Bubbie, Sunshine and Tweetie . No matter what she was known as, her personality will live on in each of us.
Kailyn was known for her extreme love for the great outdoors which included hunting, fishing, hiking and Life on the Edge Outdoor (Facebook). She also had a passion for drawing, astronomy, photography and a love for Australia! Kailyn had a deep love for family. Her family will miss her infectious giggle, award winning smile, big brown doe eyes and her deep dimples. She was happiest when she was with her Mom and Dad! However, she had a strong love for her friends as well as her dogs… Aussie and Smoky.
Kailyn is survived by her mother Laurena Thuney of Superior, father Mark Thola of Hamilton, grandfather Gerald Thola of Hamilton, brothers Greg Langella of Anaconda, Jon Langella of Missoula and her grandmother Georgia Clute of Hamilton, uncles David Thola of Hamilton, Terry Thola of Corvallis, Ron Thola of Conrad, Wes Ewalt of Hamilton and aunts Kaaren Wahlin of Superior and Nicole Roper of Philipsburg.
Kailyn was preceded in death by her grandmother Lorraine Thola, her great aunts Shawna Cozza and Kris Smith and her great uncle Larry Thola.
