Condolences to Michelle’s Family and Friends
A life well lived, a love that lives on ~ Michelle Quast ~ 1963-2026
With heavy hearts and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of Michelle, a beloved wife, mother, sister, grandma (Mamoo), and friend. Though her time with us was cut far too short, she passed peacefully, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly.
Born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Michelle settled in Veteran, Alberta, where she welcomed her two daughters. She later moved to Hanna, met the love of her life, Glenn, and together they built their home on the family farm. There, they welcomed their son and created a life centered around family, hard work and the people they loved.
Michelle devoted herself to her family, her work with students, and the many people she welcomed into her life. Graceful, generous, and kind, she had a contagious laugh, a wonderful sense of humour, and a zest for life. She made people feel cared for and valued, always looked for the good in others, and readily stood up for the underdog.
She loved opening her home to others, bringing people together over good food, laughter, and stories. She found happiness in gardening, riding horses, travelling, spending time outdoors, being near the water, and especially in the mountains. Above all, she loved sharing these experiences with her children and grandchildren, creating memories and passing along her sense of adventure.
Michelle will be deeply missed for her warmth and the way she made everyone feel welcome. Her greatest legacy is the love she gave so freely and the countless lives she touched. Michelle was a bright light in this world, and her love will remain with her family and friends always.
Michelle will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Glenn; her children, Erica (Nolan), Alysha (Dustin), and Ryan; and her grandchildren, Emily, Kaycee, and Kav. She also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
She was predeceased by her parents, Eunice and Carl, mother-in-law, Nancy and her sister, Sherry.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Delia Community Hall in Delia, Alberta.
