Ten-year-old Julianna Kozis and the accused gunman also died as a result of the attack, and 13 others were injured.
The obituary says Fallon had recently graduated high school, and was set to study nursing at Hamilton’s McMaster University in the fall.
It says she loved her coworkers at Loblaws, and adored her friends in the Young Liberals “who embraced and loved the strong and sassy girl she was.”
“We wish our sweet angel eternal peace and light,'” the obituary reads.
“We will never forget you for one moment, and we will always carry you in our hearts.”
