Obituary of Michelle Lynn Stark
Michelle Lynn Stark (Pineo) passed away on February 24,2025 in Summerside PEI, after a brief but brave battle with ALS. Michelle was born on November 30, 1969, in Kentville, Nova Scotia and was the youngest of five girls.
Michelle was a graduate of Cornwallis District High School, later earning her Bachelor of Science degree from Acadia University before completing her studies at Dalhousie University to become a Dental Hygienist. She worked as a Dental Hygienist for over 30 years, practicing in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the last 15 years in PEI.
Michelle was married to Graham; her high school sweetheart and they began their family in Northern New Brunswick after graduating from university. After many years in New Brunswick, they briefly lived in Nova Scotia before settling in PEI. Michelle had a zest for life, enjoyed travelling, playing cards with family and friends, curling, and walking the boardwalk with Myley and Nova. Her infectious smile and vibrant spirit could light up any room. She had a love for good food and often joked that she should have been a food critic. One of her greatest joys in life was becoming a mother to Logan and Colin and then a grandmother to Waylon.
