“Her life was stolen. She didn’t get to graduate or get married, and that angers me,” Levvit said.

In addition to watching her favourite shows (Grey’s Anatomy and Shameless) on Netflix, Levvitt explained her sister also loved getting her photos taken and taking photos.

“She was a very photogenic and beautiful sister,” she said, adding her sister also loved the outdoors, namely anything to do with fishing, boating, driving ATVs, or just spending time with family and friends.

Reflecting back on her own favourite memories of her sister, Levvit said she will miss the times when they were young, catching dragonflies down by the lake, or in more recent years, meeting up for coffee in Yorkton and going to the Gallagher Centre to talk and just be by nature

“Just growing up with her was a blessing and gift she really did do a good job at being my big sister, always protecting me and teaching me the right from wrong. I’m really just going to miss our drives and talks. She’s the only person who could make me laugh till I cried,” Levvit said.

Ross’s funeral was held May 29 in La Ronge. Members with the Criminal Investigations Division of the Prince Albert Police Service continue to investigate. As of Wednesday afternoon, no charges have been laid.
