Michaela Mae Choquette-Love

We are heartbroken to announce the unexpected passing of Michaela Choquette-Love on Thursday, November 20th 2025 at the age of 26. Michaela was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, and friend.

Michaela was the treasured daughter of Christine Choquette and Ken Bruton. She will be deeply missed by her siblings Brad (Heather), Tabatha, Meaghan, Kyle, and Castiel. She will be lovingly remembered by her niece Kiera. She is also survived by her grandmother Donna Budgell, grandfather Henry DeJong (Betty), and many aunts, uncles, and extended family.

She is predeceased by her grandparents Bob Budgell and Rilla Bruton.

Michaela was born with a beautiful innocence and childlike wonder that remained with her throughout her life. She carried a rare and precious gift, one that few are able to keep as they grow older. Her joyful spirit and feisty heart left a lasting impression on all.

Michaela loved video games and Disney, and was especially fond of The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. She had an unwavering belief in the good of others, and a natural gift for making friends wherever she went. Her family and friends were deeply protective of her, and she, in turn, brought out the best in those around her. Her resilience humbled, inspired and connected everyone she touched.

Spunky, feisty, and an undeniable fighter, Michaela shared love freely and was deeply loved in return. To those lucky enough to know her, Michaela was a true princess – graceful in spirit, brave at heart, and beloved beyond measure. Her absence will be felt forever.

Michaela’s life will be celebrated on Monday, December 8th 2025 at Barthel Funeral Home, 566 Queenston Road. Visitation will take place from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, with a funeral service following in the chapel. Burial to take place at Parklawn Cemetery, 750 Fountain Street North.
