Michelle Barbara Favaro

February 6, 1966 – November 21, 2015

It is with both sadness and comfort we announce the passing of beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt and friend, Michelle. She will forever be loved and remembered by her best friend and husband, Rob; sons, Brandon and Nicolas; parents and in-laws, Van and Claudette, Angelo and Antonietta; sisters, Julie and Robin; brother, Van Jr.; brother-in-law, Dean; numerous family and countless friends. After a courageous 6 ½ year battle with cancer, Michelle passed away peacefully with Rob by her side. Michelle had a smile that lit up a room.

The family wishes to extend its sincere gratitude to the nurses and staff at Burnaby Hospital Palliative Care and St. Michael's Hospice.
