It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Michelle Jean Simpson.

It was her goal in life to make sure everyone around her felt loved and cared for no matter who it was and she made a positive impact on hundreds of people. She was an amazing woman and will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her. She was a wife to Jack Closs, and a mom to 3 daughters, Kristin, Cortney and Jayda.
She was an amazing daughter, wife, mother, sister, and auntie to all. She loved nothing more than being with her family and enjoyed every second of it. Michelle passed away April 25, 2022 in the Drumheller Hospital at the age of 43.
At Michelle’s request, there will be no funeral. Anyone wishing to do so, can make a donation to the Cancer Society.
