Michele’s 5-year marathon with breast cancer has come to an end. With her family at her side, Michele passed peacefully at the AMGH Palliative Suite, in the early hours of March 2.
Just shy of her 55th birthday, she was married to Wayne almost 30 years and loving mother to Andrew & Adam. Her siblings; Karl (Beth) Sartori, Gerrard (Gayle) Sartori, Bob Sartori, Katherine (Edwin) Maxwell, many nieces, nephews & Wayne’s family, will miss her greatly.
We were blessed to celebrate with many friends and family for 2 days prior to her passing, leaving us with memories of Michele we will cherish forever. As a long time, front line worker at CIBC Goderich (almost 30 years), Michele touched the lives of her colleagues and clients, with a warm smile and an eagerness to help.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Goderich Columbus Centre, on Saturday March 7, 2020 from 1pm – 4:00 pm, please come to celebrate and share. In lieu of flower donations in Michele’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

We offer a 40km radius from any of our 5 locations (Arva (London), Exeter, Lucan, Seaforth, and Zurich). Any mileage beyond the included 40km will be charged a rate of $2.50/km (one way travel only).

Michele was such a kind soul who was taken way too soon. She was a trooper and fought hard and was always positive whenever she would fill you in on her health. I can’t make her Celebration of Life tomorrow but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Michelle was a kind and gentle person who always took the time to be fully present when she talked with you – when she was a child in elementary school and as an adult working at CIBC. It was always great to catch up with her at CIBC and hear about how Andrew and Adam were doing as she was such a proud and loving mom.
I’m so very sorry to hear that she has passed away. To her entire family – please know that I pray for her and for all of you. May God comfort you during this very difficult time.
Peace,
Jodi Kuran

We are so saddened to hear about Michele. She always put us clients first and foremost and was a loving, kind and thoughtful person to our family. We will miss sitting and chatting, usually spent more time chatting than actual bank business. To her family, friends and co workers please accept our condolences during this time. We will miss Michele, but she will not be forgotten. Sincerely, Paul and Rosemary Pentland and Family.

Many wonderful memories of our childhood and early teen years together growing up on Brock St. Although we drifted apart and miles between us ,you took the time to reach out and find my landline number in 2000 and I have not forgotten the belly laughs that took us back to our childhood.
Another guardian angel.
Peace, Light and Love to the Bouck and Sartori families.
