Abigail Rose Wasylyshen
December 8, 1995 ~ May 26, 2017
Abigail Rose Wasylyshen, 21 of Camby and her unborn son, Charles Xavier Wasylyshen passed away on the afternoon of Friday, May 26, 2017, as a result of a tragic automobile accident. Abigail was born in Indianapolis, IN, on December 8, 1995, to James A. and Catherine S. (Abrams) Fawcett; both of her parents survive and reside in Mooresville.
On September 21, 2013, Abigail realized the happiest day of her life when she was united in marriage to her loving husband, Duane E.E. Wasylyshen, and he survives. Abigail graduated from Mooresville High School in 2014. A loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and granddaughter, Abigail was considered to be an overachiever. She worked two jobs, one as a barista at the Starbucks in Camby, and the other as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Millers Merry Manor in Mooresville and The Springs. After completing her pre-requisites at Ivy Tech, she was able to begin working on a Criminology degree via Arizona Tech.
Abigail was an accomplished artist, as well as a musician. She enjoyed gaming, which is an activity that she shared with both her husband and her mother. She lived life to the fullest, and with her colorful spirit and vibrant personality, brought sunshine into everyone’s life that she touched. Everywhere she went, she lit up the room from her colorful speech, to her colorful appearance and actions. She didn’t know a stranger. She spoke her mind always, she didn’t have a filter. She protected her family with every breath, she loved unconditionally.
Abigail and Charles Xavier were preceded in death by Abigail’s maternal grandmother, Virginia (Redding) Abrams.
Abigail and Charles Xavier leave behind to mourn their tragic death, Abigail’s loving husband, Duane Wasylyshen, the father of her two sons, Jackson Dean Alexander and Elijah Raine Wasylyshen; Abigail’s parents, James and Catherine Fawcett; and her biological mother, Sarah (Abrams) Grant, Abigail’s brother, James E. (Stephanie) Fawcett of Camby; Abigail’s sister, Jamie L. Deem of Indianapolis; Abigail’s grandparents, Russell and Jerilyn (Barnes) Fawcett of Mooresville; and Rita (Abrams) and Gary Wiggington; Abigail’s mother-in-law and father-in-law, Dean and Karen Wasylyshen; her brother-in-law, Adrian (Elizabeth) Wasylyshen; Best friend, Jessica Cobb; and too many more to list.

Easily one of the most creative, magnanimous, and spontaneous people I’ve ever had the blessing to know. Many years ago, when I had temporarily made a switch from bass to guitar, taught me to play “Wanted Dead or Alive” and how to do pinch harmonics. She used to wear costumes to school, and on picture day one year, had accidentally worn an Indian dress complete with feathers. This woman had a mind that kept you guessing, and being around her was an inevitable adventure. Her mother, Catherine, is undoubtedly the source of her big heart. Her father Jim her sense of humor (and maybe love of role-playing games?). Her brother James certainly pitched in to her sense of humor, but her creativity as well. The people I’ve met through her are all people I wish I had spent more time around in the following years, because there are not many like them at all. Rest in peace, Abz. I know that you will only add to the artwork of heaven with that mind of yours. God himself was blessed yesterday.
I had choir with her in 9th grade. She was always there if you needed someone to cheer you up. She had a beautiful singing voice and her artwork always spoke words. She was loved by so many people. Mooresville really truly lost a good person…RWL slim,you will be missed dearly..
I didn’t know Abigail personally, but I think I speak for many in our community when I say how heartbroken so many feel for the loss of this Young Lady. May The Lord comfort her family during this most difficult time and give all who love her the strength needed to raise her babies and keep her memory alive. Tammy Kane
Sorry for the loss. I remember her from working as a housekeeper at Millers Merry Manor and she was a CNA. It was a shock to hear this. My prayers for comfort go out to the her family at this time.
I go every morning to starbucks and get coffee for my wife and i. and she was usually there with a smile . Im so sorry for her and her family . Prayers to all of you .
I remember her from Miller’s she was one of my favorite CNA’s I loved her she was so sweet
I remember how her and Joeli were always together. They were sure double trouble. If one didn’t think of it the other one did. I remember them riding the hobby horse together and the power wheels together when they were little little. She was so beautiful and smart. I miss you baby girl. I love you….. You will always be in my heart

I was Abigail’s 1st grade teacher at Waverly Elementary. I will always remember her brilliance, creativity and humor shared with us throughout that incredible year of learning and growing together. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Abby, as we knew her, was a constant presence in our lives and in our home when we lived in Indiana many years ago. She was like a sister to our daughter, Bethany, who when told about the accident, commented that Abby was the one person in this life she most wanted to be like, and that all her memories of Indiana were surrounded by the moments she had with her young friend Abby. She was inquisitive and questioned everything about life and why people think and live as they do, and was wise beyond her years. She was one of those people that walk so far ahead of you that it was nearly impossible to keep her in your sight. She was a young visionary who didn’t think about possibilities but lived them. She breathed in life with everything she had and did so with no hesitance or resistance. And this was already evident at the tender age of 9….. If we could all be so brave to taste and live life as she did….we will love and miss you always
Abby has been my dtts best friend as long as I can remember! She & jess have always been there for each other through the good times & bad times! When Duane came into Abby’s life it went from 2 best friends to 3! Shortly thereafter Jess was blessed with being the Godmother of Abby & Duane’s 1st born Jackson (Jax, as jess calls him), then the pleasure of being Elijah’s Godmother as well! I’ll always remember Abby as Jess’ “spunky” & “full of life” best friend! Abby was definitely a “show stopper” when she walked into a room: she could turn someone’s blue day ☀ real quick! She would always put her troubles aside & help others with theirs, as evidenced by her doing that for jess countless times! RIH Abby & Charles Xavier. You will be missed!
Prayers and strength to the family….May God be with you all at this sad time… Many Blessings..
You will be highly missed by your friends family and coworkers and school classmates
Prayers for the family.. May God be with you through your darkest days ahead. Bless those children. Sad situation.. Comfort one another with one day at a time.. She is in Gods hands now And everyone of you will see her against . Never Goodbye. She is tucked away in your hearts forever.
Abby…
(sorry, can’t)
Thank you for making so many people smile. I hope your dancing in the sky.
Abby has always been the light of my life, even though she may not have known it. I remember the day I came home from school and my mom was folding baby clothes, and told me I was going to be an aunt for the first time. Despite not being ready to be a grandma, she quickly became excited, as did I. I was 12 when I saw her for the first time. We spent so much time together in that first year, and she made me smile constantly. Throughout the years, and as my aunt and uncle raised, loved, and cared for her as their own…. I saw her develop into such a creative, hilarious, beautiful human being. I could never see her without comparing her personality to my sister’s… and could see how my aunt’s creativity and love really allowed her to express herself and be her quirky self. I am so thankful that she was loved by so many people. I am devastated that I will never have another chance to tell her how much she meant to me. Her children and her own family are now what we have to focus on. We will never let a day go by where they are not entirely sure that they have a huge family full of people that love them and will do anything for them. I will miss Abigail every single day. Thank you to everyone that loved her.
This weekend has been rough talking about you, yet nice as we get to relive the memories of you! May you and baby Charles Xavier RIH. You have touched so many lives in our small community you will be missed by so many. Every person you have come into their lives no matter how small remember you and love you and talk about you always smiling and being so pleasant. 🙂 Fly high, til we meet again.
i just wanted to say thanks to all of those who came here and shared their thoughts and stories about abigail, these stories have given me insight that i would have not had without you . i knew how special she was long ago and always knew she could light up a room just by being in it , but to hear from so many who loved her is wonderful , I will miss her terribly . Abz was our first grandchild and the void she leaves will never quite be filled. .
