For many years Michelle has given her time to the care and service of others, both in their homes and at The Good Samaritan Home where she worked. She was a strong and courageous woman who recently went back to school to earn her LPN degree.
Her children were her world, and Michelle dedicated her life to be the best mom and grandmother for her family. She was their biggest cheerleader and always proud of their accomplishments. Recently she drove the family down to the Gulf Shores to play on the beach, and loved to tell her grandchildren stories.
Michelle loved country music, especially Reba songs, as they spoke to her heart. She was fond of her flowers and enjoyed planting sunflowers, lilies and wave petunia’s in her yard.
