Hometown, Family & Occupation:
Michelle lives in Lloydminster, AB, where she works in the financial services and insurance industry alongside her husband, Byron. Kin holds a special place in her heart, as it’s also how the two of them met. Together, they share a blended family of four wonderful kids—Jayden, Paige, Noah, and Kaybree.
Kin Club & Kinsmen Foundation Board Involvement:
Michelle began her Kin journey in 2013 with the Kinette Club of Lloydminster before transferring to the Kin Club of Maidstone. Over the years, she has held numerous leadership roles at the club and district levels, including Vice President, President, Bulletin Editor, Membership Director, Deputy Governor, Service Director, Governor, and Club Support Director.
Michelle’s involvement with the Kinsmen Foundation began as a Board Representative, where she had the opportunity to advocate directly for applicants and their families. That experience gave her an even deeper appreciation for the impact TeleMiracle dollars have across Saskatchewan. She went on to serve as Vice Chair and is honoured to now serve as Chair of the Kinsmen Foundation Board.
“For me, serving on the Kinsmen Foundation Board is all about the people we help every single day. It’s knowing that the time, energy, and resources we dedicate are making a real and lasting difference in people’s lives across Saskatchewan.”
Favorite TeleMiracle Memory:
Michelle’s most meaningful TeleMiracle memories include volunteering alongside her daughter, Kaybree, and her stepson, Noah. “Watching our kids choose to give back and experience TeleMiracle firsthand has been incredibly special.”
Her love for TeleMiracle, however, began much earlier. As a child, she remembers camping out on the living room floor with her siblings, staying up late to watch the show, waiting for their names to scroll across the screen, and excitedly hoping to catch a glimpse of Bob from Sesame Street. “Those early memories planted the seed, and it’s been growing ever since.”
Passion for Community Service & Love of Saskatchewan:
Volunteering has always been part of who Michelle is. Growing up in rural Saskatchewan gave her a strong sense of community and a desire to give back. “Saskatchewan is full of generous, kind-hearted people, and I’m proud to be part of a community that always shows up when it matters most.”
Milestones & Awards:
Michelle was honoured to receive her Life Membership in Kin Canada in 2025 and is also a recipient of the District 3 Outstanding Kin Award. She served as Governor of District 3 in 2021–2022, when the district was recognized as the Outstanding District in Kin Canada—an achievement she credits to the dedication and heart of the entire District 3 team.
Michelle has also served on several TeleMiracle committees throughout her Kin career, including as Corporate Co-Chair and Manpower Chair. Each role has strengthened her connection to TeleMiracle and to the people and communities the Kinsmen Foundation serves.
