Courtney Miranda Buckley, 31, of Tiverton, unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. She was the daughter of Monica (Noverca) Connors and Christopher A. Buckley of Tiverton.
Courtney was born on November 23, 1989 and from then on she seemed to be an enigma of beauty, energy and light; a vibrant soul transcending expectations. She blazed through the world with her presence bringing joy to all who knew her. Courtney rarely left you without a song, dance, or a joke while captivating your attention and from the moment you came to know her; garnering your trust while both creating and holding space effortlessly. Her friends knew her to be a reliable confidant and fearless advocate. To know Courtney was to witness creativity, passion, and an insatiable curiosity for the gust of life. She loved art in all forms, and went nowhere without her sketchbook and colored pencils. She filled her life with music and dance. She played violin and guitar, she loved to sing and she always danced country! Her work as a cake decorator was the perfect marriage of her passions; creating beauty and bringing joy to others. That beauty and compassion that Courtney bore on the world did not come without a price, and Courtney was proof that the tragic disease of addiction can happen to anyone. The world lost Courtney leaving a tragic and unexpected void in the lives of all who loved her.
Her love and light was greater than this earth could contain.
