It is with great sadness that the family and Friends of Signe

in Denmark on February 10, 1921 and, together with her parents
and two sisters, immigrated to Canada in 1927. Upon their arrival
the family settled on a farm in the Peace River Country, Alberta.

1949, she married Robert

Together,
Robert and Signe
fulfilled their dream of building a log home on the banks of
the Humber River in Kleinburg, Ontario, in which to showcase
their growing collection of works by Tom Thomson, the Group of
Seven and their contemporaries. Over the years, this wonderful
art collection expanded to include many fine examples of works
by Inuit and First Nations artists. From this modest beginning
has grown the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Robert and Signe
McMICHAEL's legacy to the country they both loved so much. Signe
McMICHAEL was predeceased by her husband, Robert, and by her
sister, Helen
MINIKER.
She is survived by her sister Astrid
WRIGHT
and by her nieces Penny
FENWICK,
Timmy
MIDDLETON , and Deanna
BETTY.
Also surviving Signe are several grandnieces and nephews.

Collection, 10365 Islington Avenue, Kleinburg on July 8, 2007

the gallery at 11: 00 a.m. on July 9, 2007 followed by interment
on the McMichael grounds. All funeral arrangements have been
entrusted to Heritage Funeral Centre, Toronto, 416-423-1000.
