Michelle was the youngest of her siblings and grew up in Garden Grove, CA. Her happiest childhood memories were holidays with family, spending time at the beach or the mountains and watching TV game shows with her grandpa. She later met David, her future spouse in CA the summer of 1989. David and Michelle married and welcomed their first child in 2000. The family moved to Drexel in late 2012 and quickly felt at home. Michelle loved to go for drives just to look at the landscape and dazzling blue skies. Michelle was a genuinely nice person with a fantastic sense of humor. The brightness and laughter she brought to those she loved will be greatly missed.

Michelle will be missed by all who knew her. She is now with her heavenly Father. My baby girl I miss you and love you so very much always in my heart mama.
I met Michelle through Grandparents’ Circle at Oak Hill Elementary. Her and I were instantly friends. I loved her perspective on different subjects and she could always make me smile or laugh. I’m going to miss her and Michelle always being there when I needed to vent or whatever. I love Michelle and she loved me. Michelle went with me to Fl for a week vacation and that’s a fun memory.
I met Michelle through a kinship program in Morganton and will never forget her witty sarcasm and sense of humor. She loved her husband , children and animals, especially the Ducks.
Michelle was one of the most amazing people that came into my life. I owed her so much and it’s a great regret I never properly conveyed that to her. I can only think back on the many times we laughed ourselves to tears. I can recall all the times just hanging out with her, David, and their children and it truly being just simple happiness. Goodbye Michelle.
Michelle was my full blood baby sister. I remember one back where small and she was mad at me and as she sat down to take off these killer skates off that what we called them killer skates because who ever would wear them would end up getting injured but back to my story out of Michelle she was yelling at me and about something and the skates went out from underneath her and she broke her right arm and we’re walking into the house and she looks at Mom and she says I think I need to go to the hospital I think my arms broken which was kind of funny she was only going to be like like maybe 6years old when she broke her arm say it seems if she couldn’t sleep for some reason in her bed soon she had to sleep on the hide a bed in the living room and she didn’t want to sleep in there by yourself so say I had to sleep out there with her and every time I turned around I got smacked in the face with her cast
