It is with profound sadness that the family of Micheala Kastel Bell (nee Dunnan) announce the passing of a beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend. She passed away in Medicine Hat on Monday, January 18, 2021, at the age of 33 years. Micheala will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Hailey Resener and Kiersten Bell; parents, Patricia Brost and Garry Dunnan (Connie Dunnan-Peach); siblings, Jonathon Hanson (Whitney Stuber), Brittany (Mark) Streifel, Gabrielle Bow (Aksel Tigley) and Sydney Brost; grandmother, Helma Bow; many nieces and nephews; loving companion, Rikus Swiegers and his sons, Ryker and Rixten as well as her four-legged companion, Meko.

Micheala was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and moved to Medicine Hat at the age of 14 years. She graduated from Eagle Butte High School in 2006, and furthered her studies at Medicine Hat College to pursue a career in nursing. Micheala became a LPN at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital where she was kind to all patients, greeting all with a smile and gentle approach. Her most memorable moments were skydiving with her sister, Sunday family suppers and going to Colorado and Oklahoma to visit family. She enjoyed fishing, camping, quadding, doing crafts with her girls and doing DIY projects including home decor. Micheala saw beauty in everything and always thought of others first. She was the most loving and caring mother who was so proud of her girls. Micheala brought joy, laughter and light to all who were fortunate to have known her.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the lovely daughters of Michaela who she loved dearly, and her family. It was truly a pleasure and honor to have worked with Mickaela who always had been generous to share her wisdom and experiences especially when I was just starting to work as a nurse, she was always there to lend a hand and takes initiative to check if I was okay. She will be deeply missed.

With warm thoughts and prayers,

Meliza Denis

I am so deeply saddened by this tragic loss and my heart breaks for her family and beautiful daughters.
Mickey (nick name she went by when we were closer) was such a light. Positive, bubbly, funny, kind, sweet. I am devastated for the burdens she had to carry and struggle with, while many likely didn’t know.
Praying for peace for all her close family and friends during this next very difficult time of grief. I understand this pain and wish there was something more that could take some of it away...

Micheala, it's been several years since we worked together, but you were so sweet and kind. I remember how happy you were to have a baby, and I could see over the years how much your beautiful girls meant to you. Rest in peace, lots of love to your family xoxo

My thoughts and love to all who knew this amazing young lady. I had the privilege of being her co-worker of several years. She was as just as kind as she was smart and beautiful. The world will be a much duller place without her positivity and kindness in it.

So sorry Patty and families,
I only got to know her more when Tyler was dating her. She was a sweetheart and shy as heck.
Lil Kiersten is the splitting image of her momma. So shy till she warmed up then watch out she sure didn’t leave you alone. She is a cutie. Please take care of them little princesses.
Mick will be missed, she was pretty special. Condolences to all the families. 💔

This stunning, breathtaking, gorgeous beauty is my niece, and she has left us too soon. We are so proud of the amazing young woman you had become and all the hurdles you blazed through. You were brave, strong, smart, and had a radiant inner beauty to match. I pray your darling girls Hailey and Kiersten will know just how incredible you were and that you loved them fiercely!
I pray for peace and comfort for our entire extended family left behind, my sister Connie and my brother(in-love) Garry, and all of Micheala's beloved siblings Aurora, Ashton, and Casey. As well as the rest of her loving family,, some of whom I have never had the honor of meeting. We love you dearly my sweet girl. We will carry you in our hearts until we meet again. Love Aunty T , Uncle Davey, and your cousins Drew and wife Paula and Payton and wife Bri.

I was absolutely horrified when I heard about this, but
More Horrific is not one Resener could leave a single condolence 😢
