Dayle Haddon’s daughter says there are ‘no accidents’ in life as she pays tribute to her late mother

Dayle Haddon’s daughter has paid tribute to her mother, who died on Friday aged 76.

The model and actress star died Friday of carbon monoxide poisoning at the home of her daughter Ryan and son-in-law, actor Marc Blucas, 52.

In a heartfelt post on Saturday, Ryan Haddon, 53, a former journalist, shared numerous photos of her mother from her years in front of the camera.

“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this earthly realm. I have no doubt that somewhere it shines as brightly as ever, where it is most needed,” she wrote.

Ryan called her mother a “woman in her power, yet gentle and attentive to all,” calling her “deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out.” Always friendly and attentive.’

Ryan seemed to think fate had a hand in her mother’s death. Blucas’ father Walter, 76, was also in the home but survived the toxic gas leak and was in critical condition at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

“I always trust the timing of things,” the meditation teacher explained.

‘There are no such things as accidents and the way we enter and leave this world is certainly mystical and unknowable.’

She praised Dayle as a “haughty spiritual being who valued the evolution of her soul, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete.”

‘I honor her. I bow to her. I revere all the paths and adventures I have walked. I saw her as golden and always reaching for the Light in all areas of her life.’

During her long career, Dayle donated much of her time and energy to charity work.

She founded the nonprofit WomenOne and an organization focused on educating women and girls. She campaigned for the Canadian charity WE, formerly known as Free the Children, which focuses on education, water, health, food and economic opportunity in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Dayle was appointed UNICEF Ambassador in 2008.

Haddon worked as a model in the 1970s and 1980s and was one of the first to break the glass ceiling when she became the spokesmodel for Estee Lauder’s anti-aging line. She later signed with L’Oréal, and with her as the face of the product, sales of the Age Perfect line increased by 50 percent.

Ryan praised her mother’s inner beauty, writing, “She loved so many people,” and calling her mother “A pure heart” with “A rich inner life.” Touching so many lives. A life well lived, concluded with ‘Rest in Light, Mom (pictured in May 2018)

Ryan thanked “everyone who was part of her journey and helped shape, enrich and activate her to become the absolute gem that she is.”

“She loved so many,” the grieving daughter added, calling her mother “A pure heart” with “A rich inner life.” Touching so many lives. A life well lived, concluded with ‘Rest in the light, Mom.’

Fellow models sent their heartfelt condolences. Susan ‘Susie’ Blakely sent a sweet message saying: ‘I just can’t believe I won’t see her beautiful smile again…I came to your page to try to comfort you but in the end your beautiful words comforted me.’

Christy Turlington called her ‘Beauty personified and ethereal.’ Christina Ferrare wrote: ‘Besides her extraordinary beauty, it was her eyes and that smile that drew you in. You felt welcome and safe in her space.”
