'She was so pure': Funeral held for Saskatoon girl fatally struck by vehicle

Friends and family gathered at the Park Funeral Home in Saskatoon to say their goodbyes to nine-year-old Baeleigh Emily Maurice.

Baeleigh was killed earlier in the month when she was struck by a vehicle while on her scooter in the 600 block of 33rd Street West. She was on her way to her grandmother’s house at the time of the crash, according to her mother.

There were prayers, songs, poems, and stories all shared while those in attendance remembered the bright moments from knowing the charismatic girl.

“I miss Baeleigh right now,” Bostynn, one of Baeleigh’s friends said.

When asked what she would miss the most about her friend, Bostynn said “hugging her.”
