Michalezki

1960 - 2014

Cook Southland Funeral Chapel - Michalezki(2014) It is with sadness that the family of Debra Lee Jean ‘Debbie’ Michalezki announce her passing which occurred at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, at the age of 54 years. Debra was the faithful partner of Lloyd ‘Butch’ Braconnier, and the beloved daughter of Rosella Michalezki. She also leaves to cherish her memory: three children, Melissa, Jason and Amanda (Ryan); three grandchildren, Jordan, Monique and Liam; siblings, Rosemary (Arvid), Kenny, James, Gerald and Helené (Peter) as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her father, Paul Michalezki as well as her grandmother, Adeline Baziguri. Debbie was born in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan on March 28, 1960, to proud parents, Paul and Rosella Michalezki. Most of her working career was spent as a cook at Argos Restaurant. Debbie was a very selfless and generous person who loved to cook! This was evident when anyone stopped by her house for a visit, ‘cause they always left with a full tummy! Debbie always viewed her children and grandchildren as her greatest achievements in life! She will be deeply missed. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Tuesday, June 24, 2014, between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. A Celebration of Debbie’s life will be held at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Barrett Scheske officiating. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery with a time of fellowship and refreshments thereafter in the Cook Southland Reception Center.

    We will miss her so much. Remember the good times, seeing her smile, hearing her laugh. I will never forget her "horror" at the poopy diaper game at your baby shower. While we my not mourn as deeply as you we still mourn her loss and hold you in our hearts and thoughts. Through the tears of sadness and loss may there be tears of joy for the time shared and the memories made. Love to you all.

    I had the pleasure of working with Debbie at Argos for a few years. I ran into her a while ago and she hadn't changed a bit, a very genuine down to earth person. I truly enjoyed working with her. My heart and prayers go out to your family in this difficult time.
