Woodstock, Vermont

It is with heaviness in our hearts and our deepest sorrow we announce the passing of our beloved Makenna.

Makenna Lee Joyce Dusik of Woodstock earned her wings on Jan.29,2021 at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. She passed away in the loving arms of her mother and father following unforeseen complications after a surgical procedure. Makenna was born on August 21, 2019 to parents Logan Dusik and Sage Thibodeau. Her fighting spirit began developing immediately as she was born premature, a twin and with a complex medical condition.

Makenna LOVED life! She loved her family and her people. She loved playing, bonding and watching Frozen with her twin sister…on repeat, splashing in the tub and trying new foods. Above all she loved being silly and making people laugh every chance she got. Despite spending a large part of her life in the hospital, she never lost her ability to light up a room or bring a smile to anyone's face.

Many people who followed her story near and afar have been inspired by her fighting spirit and resilience. Her always present smile and bubbly personality despite the myriad of challenges she faced and overcame. She made it impossible not to fall in love with her. Makenna will live forever inside the hearts of all those who knew and loved her. Although her time with us was short, we feel forever blessed and eternally grateful for every second we had with her. She was a special angel who always will be our true gift from heaven. May she rest peacefully, until we meet again our sweet little angel.

Makenna is survived by Sage Thibodeau; mother, Logan Dusik; Father, Lyla Marie Dusik; twin sister, James and Amber Dusik; grandparents, Wayne and Carrie Serra; grandparents, Neal and Lori Weil; grandparents, David Thibodeau; Great grandparent, Colleen Bivins; Great grandparent and many Aunts uncles' cousins and her huge family at DHMC.
