Michelle Lynne Friesen

May 20, 2023
Our beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece and friend, Michelle passed away on May 20, 2023 at the age of 49 after the most courageous battle with cancer. Through out this journey she was always surrounded by her loving family and friends.
She lived life richly and fully. Her two sons, Joshua and Jordan, brought Michelle her greatest pleasure. Their South Surrey home was hockey crazy with both boys playing for many years with the Semiahmoo Hockey Association.
Not only was her smile contagious but her kindness, compassion and unconditional love spread to all that knew and loved her. Brave and courageous doesn't begin to define her final two years. She made the best of a bad deal, remained solid in her faith and taught us all to always find the silver linings - no matter how small. She was blessed all her life with beautiful friendships and treasured them all.
The family is profoundly grateful for the excellent care and support from Dr. Sharon Duncan and the staff at Melville Hospice, Dr. Carolyn Icton, Dr. Irene Yu and the Surrey BC Cancer Agency chemo care nurses.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:30 pm on Thursday, June 1, 2023 at Gracepoint Community Church, 3487 King George Boulevard, Surrey, BC. Refreshments will be served and everyone is welcome.
In lieu of flowers, the family is kindly requesting a donation in Michelle's name to the Michael Cuccione Foundation, to raise funds for childhood cancer research at https://www.childhoodcancerresearch.org/
Her wings were ready, our hearts were not.
