Michele passed peacefully in her 58th year at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice with family at her side. She leaves behind her devoted, loving husband, Robert, with whom she shared 35 wonderful years. She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Emily (Jared), and her sister of the heart, Sharie Lynn Fleming.
Michele was the cherished daughter of the late Raymond (2010) and Brenda (2020) Baker.
A creative soul, Michele was passionate about her hobbies. She loved cross-stitch, handmade cards for every occasion, paper crafting, and photography. Her seasonal and holiday displays throughout the house were memorable celebrations throughout the year.
Cats were her spirit animals. Maud, Jeannie, and Spencer were among the favourites. All creatures found a special place in her heart.
An avid reader, Michele loved romance novels, young adult fiction, Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, and the Tea Shoppe Mysteries. Lucy Maud Montgomery was her all-time favourite. A trip to Prince Edward Island was more a pilgrimage than a vacation.
Her legacy is her daughter, her crafts, her kindness, and her love.
“What we do in life echoes in eternity.”
The family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate team at Ed’s House, the nurses in the Ambulatory Care Unit at Northumberland Hills Hospital, and Dr. Mulé.
The funeral will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Cobourg, 240 College Street, on Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 9:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Michele’s name at Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice or the Northumberland Humane Society.
Dear Rob and Emily: My heartfelt sympathy to you as you say goodbye to Michele after your long -- yet much too short -- time together on earth. I hope your faith and your memories, as well as the love you share as father and daughter will comfort you and keep her present with you for all your lives. I am sure there are many others who will always remember Michele and the friendship she offered to those around her, as well as the great love she had for you, her family. Eileen Argyris.
My condolences Rob. Such as loss is difficult to fathom. Wishing the strength love can bring to you and your family.
Rob, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you and your daughter during this difficult time. May the love and memories you shared bring you comfort.
Rob: My warmest condolences to you and your daughter. You are in my thoughts.
So very sad to hear of Michele's passing. Such a gentle soul but not afraid to speak her mind when the occasion warranted. I will always remember her white t-shirt with the cat paw prints running across it, hand painted by Michele herself. A treasure to have known her.
To Rob, Emily and Family: Some of us write for a living, but even that doesn't equip us with the right words to say at moments of grief and loss like this. Please know that your family is in the thoughts and prayers of many at this time -- ours included. It is never easy to lose a loved one -- let alone someone so near and dear as a mother and companion/soulmate. In marking your loss, we remember and reflect on the wonderful, creative and thoughtful person that Michele was -- those memories and moments will live on in all of us forever.

I loved you.
