Obituaries

Michelle Angela Graff (nee Lawless) passed away peacefully at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, Saskatchewan on June 6, 2026 at the age of 66 years.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Michelle lived a life marked by strength and devotion to family and friends. She found great joy in spending time with her family, who were the center of her world. She took pride in the accomplishments of her children and cherished every opportunity she spent with loved ones.

Michelle spent her early childhood in Ontario and she and her brother later followed their father to the Prairies, where she remained. She gained a younger sister when her father remarried and later met her best friend’s cousin, Garnet, who became her loving and devoted spouse. They settled in Garnet’s home town of Regina and had two sons Taylor (Samantha) and Conor. Her sons then gave her the lights of her life, granddaughter Addison (Conor), Addison’s mother Amber Johnstone, and soon to be grandson Archie (Taylor). She will be greatly missed by her father Matthew Lawless (Monique); her brother Corey Lawless; her sister Colleen Noble (Paul); sister-in-law Beryl Graff and nieces, nephews and dear friends including Natasha, Jan and Heather, who all held a special place in her heart. Her cuddle buddy/fur-ever son, Ollie, regularly sleeps in the sitting room by the front door on the blanket she used at the hospital, waiting for her return and is greatly missed by him.

She was admired for her work ethic at Canadian Tire, later at the Royal Bank of Canada and turned one of many side ventures, Expedia Cruises into her dream career. She made good friends with her co-workers and customers and travelled the world during her time with Expedia Cruises, which provided her with fabulous experiences and memories.

Nothing was more important to Michelle than her family and friends and though her presence will be greatly missed, her love, wisdom and countless memories will remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

Funeral Service for Michelle will be held on Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. in Christ Lutheran Church, 4825 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, Saskatchewan. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations in Michelle’s memory may be made to the Allan Blair Cancer Centre

The family extends their sincere gratitude to friends and family members that messaged, called and visited Michelle during her illness and to the many healthcare professionals and caregivers who provided compassionate care during her final days.
