Michelle Lee Pierce, beloved wife of Cory Pierce and mother of Zoe, passed away on Friday, January 27, 2023, at the age of 43 years.

Michelle was born on the Gulf coast of Corpus Christi, Texas on October 17, 1979. Moving with her family out of the USA and through Ontario, she would wind up in Fort McMurray, Alberta where she would spend the majority of her youth in that city. It was there that she would meet Cory and after college in Lethbridge, they re-settled in Calgary. Using her degrees in education and theatre, she would dedicate her life to helping others, in careers in education and counselling, focusing on children as her priority. In 2010 she would bring her own child into this world and used her experience to be the best mother there could be. She enjoyed art, theatre and life in general with an incredibly positive attitude towards anyone she met and situations she encountered. 

She will be dearly missed by her husband, Cory; daughter, Zoe; and her father, Tony; her sisters, Amanda, Cindy and Juliette; brother, Paul; father-in-Law, Gary; mother-in-law, Lorna; brothers-in-law, Glen, Martin and Kyle; sister-in-law, Leanne; nieces, Chloe, Jenna and Jayden; nephews, Zach, Carl, Oliver, Joseph, Luke and Josh; and her auntie, Joanne.
