On Friday May 16, 2025, in her 56th year, Michelle Wareham passed peacefully at Health Science Center, St. John’s, our beloved daughter, wife, mother, nan, sister, cousin and friend.

Michelle cherished her family above all else, she leaves behind her mother Winnie Hollett-Gerrow (Clevie), husband Reginald (Reg) of 37 wonderful years, her pride and joy Douglas (Cassey), her treasured granddaughter Olivia, brother Raymond (Shauna), brother-in-law Steve (Pam), sister-in-law Cynthia (Larry), lifetime friend Donna Paul, special friends Dwayne (Heather), Matthew(Alicia), special work family Cindy Warren & Cindy Mayo plus a large circle of other family and friends.

Predeceased by her father Leroy Hollett, sister Janice Hollett, grandparents Wallace & Mildred Hollett, parents-in-law Doug & Clotilda Wareham, brothers-in-law Eugene Butler, Harry Joe.

Michelle was a compassionate, stubborn, and a strong willed woman who was so proud of her family, who always thought about others first especially her granddaughter, Olivia. Michelle was always a lover of a game of Rummoli on a Saturday night with her buddies. She was always game for anything especially, a road trip with the girls. She was an excellent cook, in fact, we will miss all her grub. She was always there to offer a helping hand as she loved to help anyone, especially the fire department but most of all, she enjoyed spending valuable time with family and friends having FUN. She will be greatly missed by those who were lucky enough to cross her path. We hope there are lots of deep fried pickles, cups of tea and warm, fuzzy blankets.

As we say goodbye to Michelle , let us carry forward her message of love, of resilience, and of never giving up. In her memory, let us embrace each day with the same fierce determination and unwavering compassion that she showed us all.

Rest in peace, dearest Michelle. Your light will continue to shine bright in the hearts of those you have left behind.

The Wareham family would like to send a very special thank you to all the doctors and nurses at the Burin Peninsula healthcare center, especially the dialysis unit, all the doctors and nurses at the Health Science centre and to Matthew and Alicia Marks for opening their home to Reg at this difficult time.
