Michelle Lynne Mercer passed away peacefully with family at her side on Thursday January 21st after a long battle with cancer.
Michelle was born on June 28th 1973 to Ed and Diane Mercer. She attended Gron Morgan High School where she made many life-long friends and met Todd Doran who would become her life/love partner and with whom she would have a lovely daughter named Desirae Autumn Doran.
Michelle worked at The Real Canadian Superstore for a while and also babysat for a number of people. The children she looked after are among those who miss and mourn her passing.
Family meant everything to Michelle and we will all feel lost without her. Michelle was always ready to help where she could, or at least put in her two cents worth. Camping, fishing, sitting by a campfire, doing arts and crafts, writing poetry, going to concerts, and scrap-booking were among Michelle's favorite activities.
Wolf Lake and Silver Lake were Michelle's favorite places to go camping. She made many friends while doing so. And the more the merrier.
Michelle joins her mother Diane Mercer, who passed away only 11 months ago, and her grandparents in heaven.
She will be missed by loving family members such as her daughter Desirae Autumn Doran (who has lost both a loving mother and a good friend in Michelle), her life-partner Todd Doran, her brother Robert Mercer and his wife Bobbi, her nieces MacKenzie + Katrina Mercer, her father Ed Mercer, her mother and father in-law Eddie + Trudy Doran, her brothers in-law Eddie and Jamie Doran, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A celebration of Michelle's life get-together will be held at the hall at Knox United Church, 1 Shuniah Street, on January 30th between 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Anyone who knew Michelle is welcome to attend.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or Northern Cancer Fund would be appreciated.
