Michelle was such a fun and hard working person.  She was aways honest and was so great at being clear and motivated. I really appreciated her sense of humor and her willingness to help others. She was always so sweet to me through our time together through the world of aviation. 

To all of her family my heart aches for you and I hope you find comfort in good memories and knowing how much she loved all of you.  With time the ache will numb but the memories will aways be there. 

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Michelle at the  Alberta Aviation Museum . She was an efficient, capable, and personable individual who was a great ambassador for the museum  and  was highly respected. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
Jack Van Norman
Past President
Alberta Aviation Museum.

My sincere condolences to Dave, Pam, Christin and your families at the loss of your beloved Michelle. She was taken too soon but hoping you can cherish all your wonderful memories. 

I was fortunate to have worked with Michelle at two organizations so feel very privileged  since she was more than a colleague; she was a friend. She was always more concerned about the wellbeing of others and never forgot to ask how my family was doing. Michelle was a true professional and the go-to person at the museum.

Rest In Peace, sweet Michelle. You will never be forgotten. 

Michelle,  You were one in a Billion.  Beautiful, Kind, Warm and Funny. I loved the times we would go outside, on a break, and laugh.  I loved your laugh and you never realized how funny you were...a ray of sunshine on a cloudy week.  I will always remember our chats.  I'm so grateful for having known you.  Rest in Peace My Lady.  Love April

Condolences to Dave and family,

I'm so sorry to learn of Michelle's passing. Good people like her should have a longer time to be among us. We enjoyed Michelle's work ethic, camaraderie and wit everyday she worked with us here in Kenora. We hope you all find comfort in the many fond memories you shared together.

It was an  absolute pleasure working with Michelle during her time at the Alberta Aviation Museum. Besides being a caring, thoughtful manager, she also became a very close friend.
Missed greatly, rest in peace, always in our thoughts.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Michelle's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Michelle through the Alberta Aviation Museum. We had numerous laughs, chats and our mutual past cancer stories. My condolences to her family and work team. She will be missed. 

I had the honour of working with Michelle and she was a blessing to have as my Operations Director.  She was insightful, resourceful and had an amazing sense of humor.
