KDSS & the Kincardine community mourns the loss of an amazing teacher.

On Tuesday May 22nd KDSS tragically lost one of the most amazing teachers we could ever ask for for.
Michelle Taylor, 53, died at the scene of a head-on crash when her grey Buick Regal collided with a burgundy Ford pickup truck at on Highway 9 east of Kincardine near the hamlet of Kinloss.

 South Bruce OPP officers attended the scene just after 4 p.m. with the Lucknow Fire Department, Huron County paramedics and Bruce County paramedics. OPP Technical Traffic Collision investigators were called to the scene to assist the South Bruce OPP with the incident.

Highway 9 was closed from Bushell Street to Bruce Road 1 for the safety of those involved with the crash.
Police said the investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to call South Bruce OPP or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
 
Since 1985 Michelle Taylor (Then Michelle Meridith) has been teaching at KDSS as a science and french teacher along side her true love, Jim Taylor, also a science teacher.

Mrs. Taylor has also been actively involved in the school and in the past couple of years has been the teacher rep for the KDSS Free the Children group in which she was very passionate about the cause. Mrs. Taylor would never walk by anyone with out saying "Hello, how are you?". She was the most caring and kind person anyone could ever ask for.

Her love of horses, teaching, frog dissection, and her family will never be replaced.

 We will always cherish the time we had with you Mrs. Taylor. You never be forgotten!

More information on the visitation and funeral will be shared at a later date.

Thoughts go out to the Taylor Family; Jim, Ryan, Jen & Katie.

  1. Michelle was a wonderful colleague and friend. She exuded warmth and compassion. It was heart-breaking to hear the news of the accident.
    My sincerest heart-felt condolences to Jim, Ryan, Jen and Katie and the staff and students of KDSS.
    She was one-of-a-kind.
