Makayla was a loving daughter, granddaughter, great grandaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend that will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all who were blessed to know her. She always got a kick out of getting someone mad and letting you know if she was mad. She enjoyed playing board games, eating spicy foods like Hot Cheetos and Buffalo Wings, and spending time with her numerous cousins. She enjoyed spending time and goofing off with her cousin aka best friend Darian Bailey. She was a hard working young woman who took initiative to reach her goals of speaking Spanish and learning Geometry before her school courses, and looked forward to getting her Driver’s License. Also if there was a way to make money she was with it. She also loved babies and young children; they seemed to gravitate toward her and she loved caring for them.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Makayla Nychell Gregoire.
