GALLIAH, Michelle Galliah –
FEBRUARY 3, 1973 – JUNE 15, 2024
On June 15th, 2024, Michelle passed away peacefully surrounded by love. Michelle was known for her keen wit, humour, her deep compassion and her empathy.
She took her strongest attributes and made it her career by bringing laughter and comfort to others while caring for them in their time of need. Live music and the Blue Jays were her favourite way to spend time with her friends.
The only advantage of being told that you have a short time left here is the opportunity to spend those days with the people you love. It’s hours of cuddling with your children, watching the movies that brought you joy, retelling of stories and saying all the things you want to say to each other.
Michelle was predeceased by her loving parents, Pat and Perry, her brother and best friend, Colin, and many other family and friends she deeply missed. It brought her peace that she would be reunited with them.
To paraphrase something her mom said to her in a dream days before she passed, she was happy to be going, she was sad to be going.
Michelle is survived by her dear children Jacob (Jennifer), Aaron, Hannah and the absolute joy of her last year her granddaughter Violet, her stepfather Robert (Kathy), her siblings, Arlene, Nico (Lorne), Sarah, Garry, and Emma, her grandmother, Helen, her “Ant” Sherry, her sister in laws Angie, Nadine, and Alyssa, her lifelong friends, Shelley, Michelle, and Melanie, and many much-loved nieces and nephews.
Sweet girl, we will meet again on the other side and enjoy the Soup Du Jour together.
Visitation will be held at OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME , 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Monday, June 24th from 12:30 p.m. until time of funeral service in the chapel at 1:30 p.m.
A reception will be held at 500 Mayfair Ave in Oshawa following the service. In lieu of flowers, Michelle has requested donations be made to Simcoe Hall Settlement House.
