Laura Bissonnette
The 9-year-old granddaughter of Laura Bissonnette, a keyboardist for St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Southeast Portland, was hit and killed by a car March 6. Bissonnette’s daughter, Victoria Martins-Read, and 2-year-old granddaughter, Maggie, were injured but survived.
A memorial service for Baylei will be held at St. Joseph the Worker March 27.
A spunky girl who hoped to be a veterinarian, Baylei was “a bright light and giant spirit in diminutive human form,” said Bissonnette four days after her death. “The world was so blessed to have her, and it will take a long time to find our bearings now that she is gone.”
