We Remember

WARREN, Michelle Lea

September 21, 1974 — July 16, 2026

On July 16, 2026, Michelle passed away suddenly after a brief illness, leaving behind her heartbroken family: her daughter, Sarah; her son, Spencer; the father of her children, Mike; her father, Ken (Diana); her sister, Dannielle (Darren), and her nephews, Cameron and Jamie; stepbrother, Devan (Lou); stepsister, Shaylee (Cody); extended family and countless friends, including Penny, Angel, Anna, and Parker.

Michelle trained as a nurse and was a lifelong caregiver, working at assisted living homes and at Kelowna General Hospital. When Sarah and Spencer became involved in community services for children with special needs, Michelle retrained and became a certified therapeutic horseback riding instructor. Through this, Michelle was able to balance caring for Sarah and Spencer with instructing, and touched the lives of children and adults, allowing them to horseback ride when they otherwise would not be able to. Michelle rose to Manager of Therapeutic Riding at Arion Farms and was even named Canadian National Horsewoman of the Year!

Like her mother, Myra, who predeceased Michelle in 2007, she loved all animals. She started spending time at the barn when she was 13, owning horses, Tomy, Jesse, and then Clementine. Always taking in a new pet, Michelle had a wide variety of them over the years: many cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, tropical fish, lovebirds, and even a bearded dragon.

Michelle was so proud of her children; she bragged about them constantly to everyone, in person and on Facebook. She also loved her adventurous trips to Vegas with Dannielle and looked forward to them all year. She will be missed dearly, and Vegas will never be the same.

Further information about a gathering will be available at a later date.
