Dayle Haddon's daughter has paid tribute to her mother, who died on Friday at the age of 76.
The model and actress star passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning on Friday 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. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,' she penned.
Ryan referred to her mother as a 'woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all,' calling her, 'Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.'
Ryan seemed to think that fate had a hand in her mother's passing. Blucas' father Walter, 76, was also in the house, but survived the poisonous gas leak and was in critical condition at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

'I always trust the timing of things,' the meditation teacher explained.
'There are no accidents and certainly how we enter and exit this world is mystical and unknowable.'
She praised Dayle as a 'high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul’s evolution, 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 taken. I saw her be golden and always reach for the Light in all areas of her life.'
During her lengthy career, Dayle donated a lot of her time and energy to charity work.
She founded the non-profit organization WomenOne and organization focused on educating women and girls. She and 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 named a UNICEF ambassador in 2008.

She later signed with L'Oreal, and with her as the face of the product, sales for the Age Perfect line had increased by 50-percent.
