Michen was born and lived in Trinidad for most of her life. It was after many visits to Canada in the summer months that her and Ralph made Canada their new home and became Canadian Citizens. She was especially close to her sisters and brother and maintained that special bond over the years. She was a home maker, a loving and caring gentle lady who loved her family. Devoted to her husband and children, and equally invested in her nieces and nephews. Michen taught her children by example. Whenever her children did anything that was not nice, she would have long gentle conversations with them, always delivered with patience & understanding.

Michen loved to cook and made delicious dishes that she passed down to her children over the years. Every Sunday she made her famous sponge cake and Ralph, with the help of their three sons, would have the ice cream machine going for everyone to enjoy.
She loved music, dancing, reading and embroidering. On Sunday afternoons she enjoyed sharing some of the dances from her time with her daughters, such as the Castillian Waltz.

Michen loved her grandchildren dearly & cherished all 15 of them. Her grandchildren loved her tremendously and each had their own special relationship with her. She loved spending time with them, always encouraging their individuality & special talents. Many years later, Michen was also blessed with great grandchildren, some of whom she was able to meet & create memories with before her passing.

Michen will truly be missed and most remembered for her beautiful soul and the unconditional love she had for her family & friends. She was an extraordinary woman with a heart of gold that was felt by everyone around her.

“We love you Granny and thank you for all the love and kind ways you've instilled in us”
