🎉 Happy Retirement, Michele! 🎉

Please join us in celebrating and thanking Michele as she begins her well-deserved retirement!

Michele joined the Mackey team in 2014 as our Office Administrator, and for the past 11 years she has been a steady, dedicated, and caring presence in our office and our community. Born in Toronto and raised in Mississauga, Michele later attended Sheridan College for Business Administration and raised her two children before eventually settling in Port Perry with her husband, Chris. In 2011, they made the move to Cambray to embrace country living — a place that has truly become home.

Michele has been a steady hand to Alison since Linden’s passing and has provided far more than administrative support to the team. She has been a sounding board, a strong leader, and a true source of comfort and guidance. Michele is a dear friend to all and will be dearly missed, but we wish her well as she steps into this exciting new chapter after an incredible 11 years of dedicated service.

We are incredibly grateful for Michele’s kindness, commitment, and the heart she brought to everything she did.

💛 Please join us in wishing Michele all the best as she steps into this next exciting chapter!
Her last day with us will be December 29th — feel free to share your thanks, memories, and well-wishes below!

Congratulations, Michele! 🎉✨

We give our heartfelt thanks to:

Ziggy's Fish & Chips for donating a huge hot lunch donation: 3 roasting pans of chicken legs, 3 roasting pans of roasted potatoes and large pot of gravy that was served for this past Saturday’s dinner!

Royal Canadian Legion Lindsay Branch 67 for donating sandwiches, fruits, and veggies perfect for lunch!

Mackey Funeral Home Inc. for donating sandwiches, cheese, veggies, pickles, and olives

Paul Orchard for donating hotdogs

Kathy Tromans for donating 6 hand creams, 4 packs or razors, 6 Old Spice body washes, 6 Dove body sprays for men, 6 deodorants for women , 6 shampoos, 6 conditioners, 6 lotions, 5 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 mugs, and 5 boxes of crackers. We are really low on personal care items so this donation was greatly appreciated!

Your generosity is more than a donation. It’s a lifeline. It brings comfort, dignity, and hope to those navigating incredibly difficult times. Because of you, our community feels a little more connected, a little more cared for, and a lot more loved.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.💕

Do You Know the Difference?

Although we’ll never correct you if you mix them up, there’s an important difference between a hearse and Hearst.

A hearse—traditionally known as a funeral coach—is a vehicle used to transport your loved one from the place of death to the cemetery, crematorium, church, or celebration of life.

Hearst, on the other hand, is a town in Ontario. While it’s a fun coincidence that the two sound the same, they’re definitely not interchangeable!

Meet Maddy!

Maddy grew up in the beautiful communities of Bobcaygeon and Peterborough, Ontario. She graduated from Crestwood Secondary School, where a co-op placement at Ashburnham Funeral Home first sparked her passion for the funeral service profession.

She is currently pursuing her Funeral Service Education at Humber College and recently began her internship with Mackey Funeral Home. Through this hands-on experience, Maddy is gaining valuable knowledge and building meaningful connections as she works toward her goal of becoming a licensed funeral director by 2026.

Compassionate and dedicated, Maddy is already excelling in her role—meeting with families, supporting them through the planning process, and embracing every opportunity to learn and grow.

We are excited to welcome Maddy to our team and look forward to supporting her as she continues her journey toward becoming a Class 1 Licensed Funeral Director.
