Mary Brooke Lachance
January 9, 1986 - February 20, 2015
This world was blessed with Mary Brooke Lachance on January 9th 1986. Heaven received their perfect angel back on February 20th 2015 after her courageous battle with cancer. Brooke redefined the word strength not only through her final battle but also throughout her life.
Robert and Leslie Lachance were the fortunate pair that created her and were able to raise her into the beautiful person that she became. Brooke was the youngest of five siblings, each who sincerely adored her. Brooke grew up in West Jordan and from a young age Brooke marched to the beat of her own drum. Growing up, Brooke loved being around her family. Brooke truly was the light of the Lachance family. Through Brookes influence, she was able to bring her family closer together and showed genuine compassion and care to everyone that she crossed paths with.
Brooke started attending Paul Mitchell The School in October 2010 and later graduated in July 2012. Brooke was also employed at Whole Foods for the past ten years. She was most recently employed there as a payroll benefits specialist.
Brooke married Dustin Davis on August 21st 2010. Brooke and Dustin later divorced, however remained very close friends until the end.
Brooke became engaged to Joe Mandl in July of 2014. She was so excited to begin their journey together and they were to be married October of this year. Joe was so great to Brooke and loved her unconditionally. As Brooke became ill, Joe stayed right by her side and stayed there supporting her throughout her difficult journey. Brooke was truly blessed to have Joe in her life.
Brooke was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside and will be missed by all who knew her. If Brooke were to sum up her life she would say: #prettymuchnailedit.
Brooke is survived by her loving fiancée Joe Mandl, her loving parents Robert and Leslie LaChance, her siblings Troy(Debbie), Chris(Eleni), Lisa and Lindsay Lachance. Grandparents Doug and Mary Erickson, 8 nieces and nephews and many, many special lifelong friends.
A celebration of life will be held at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, on Friday, February 27th from 6 to 8 PM. Complimentary valet parking will be provided on the north side of the building.
In Loving Memory
I feel so blessed to have been included in Brooks life. I met Brooke through my daughter, Becca Corey. I watched a true friendship form a bond, it was so special. Brooke's light burns so bright....I will see it always. May you find peace and comfort at this difficult time.

I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of Brooke. May the loving memories you have of her be forever in your memory, bringing you comfort in the days ahead. I hope the support from family and friends will give you the strength you need to deal with this difficult time. - Isaiah 33:24 "No resident will say, 'I am sick'..."

Though it was a very short time that she touched my life ?I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.? (Maya Angelou) She touched mine and from all the love I see on line, on FB and here.. She will never be forgotten because of how she touched others. To quote Julie Burchill "Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile." Im betting she would prefer Smiles. My love and condolences to all.

My deepest condolences to the Lachance family. May you find comfort in knowing that God holds our dear loved ones in his loving memory and longs to reunite them with us again. With the promise of no more sickness or pain.(Revelation 21:4; Acts 25:14) May you find strength and a sense of peace in your time of sorrow.

I had the privilege to work with Brooke for a few years at Whole Foods. She was pretty shy when we first met but I watched her grow in confidence to the point where she began choosing her path. She has an amazing spirit. To her family, there are many out there you don't even know but were touched by Brooke. Find strength in that while you mourn your daughter, sister, aunt.

Joe and the Lachance Family, While I never had the opportunity to meet Brooke, I want you to know that her loving spirit shined through, in every picture I saw of her, which really touched my heart. Her tenderness and beauty was evident. May you be comforted at this time and know that love is eternal.

My deepest sympathy to Bob & Leslie Lachance and Family . Our Thoughts Are With You. Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through, and shines down to let us know they are happy.
