Michelle was an old soul who was a friend to all and loved hard. No matter if you were family or friend, she would not let you off the phone without telling you she loved you. She loved to travel and spoil her toy poodle, Muffin and cat, Sassy.

She never met an obstacle she could not overcome. Michelle had an infectious laugh and smile that could light up the dimmest of room or situation. Michelle loved to hunt and fish as long as she didn’t have to bait her own worm. She had many friends who loved her dearly.

She was an amazing wife and mother who will be dearly missed.
