Mikayla always put others first and spent many hours volunteering at the Regional Food Bank and local community center. She loved eating Chinese food, baking cookies and snuggling with her pets, Korra and Winnie, who miss her dearly, and her stuffed pets, Steven the Bear and Boppi the Dog. 

Mikayla went on to study biology at Hudson Valley Community College and was currently attending Binghamton University pursuing a math degree all the while working as a campus tour guide and she was Baxter, the Bearcats mascot. 

She was the daughter of David and Michele ( Kovarovic) Roy;  sister of Nicholas Roy; special love of Cole Roberts; maternal granddaughter of Frank and the late Sandra Kovarovic; paternal granddaughter of the late Gordon and Irene Roy; niece of Gordon and Laura Roy, (Jessica, Melissa and Donny), Laurie Schieb-Wyanski, (Matt and Jess), Denise and Mark Suchsland, (Erin), Julie and Joe Urbanski (Jenna and Mei Lei)
