Quietly and peacefully, Michelle Marie Ann Neufeld (nee Penner) passed away Sunday January 5, 2020 at Riverview Health Centre. Her courage and beauty was noticed by all as she battled a year with cancer. Michelle’s faith was in the God who created her. God gave her the strength to do her journey with prayer and with the wisdom to take one day at a time. Her sweet life will forever stay with family and friends as conversations and memories will resurface time and time again. She will be missed more than the language of words can say.
