Michele Wombold Obituary
On December 26, 2023, "Wilderness Mic" made the leap to the great beyond. A mere spec of dust in this big universe - she could do anything she put her mind to with just a hammer, screwdriver and a roll of duct tape. She loved deeply her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, the Minnesota Vikings, nature, camping, gardening, her wood stove, and a cold Miller Lite.
Born September 27, 1954, the oldest child of the late Louis and Kathleen Cooper, she leaves behind her five younger siblings.
On her tenacious and adventurous ride around the sun over the past 69 years, her greatest accomplishment was her children, Russell (Andrea); Aulbrey; Drew (Jennifer); and Cynthia (Jason); her 13 grandchildren; 2 step-grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
In furtherance of medical research of cancer, she has donated her body to Wright State University's Boonshoft School of Medicine.
Services will be at the family's convenience.

I worked with Micki and I have nothing but fond memories...her quick sense of humor, her warmth in making everyone feel welcome and included, her love of her children were all things that I recall most vividly. Although it had been years since we had seen each other, we spoke within the last year. It was as if no time had passed. She was just so easy to talk to. Rest in peace, Micki.

I worked with Micki many years. She was always front and center when it came to our charitable work at the firm. She was a friend to all and a great lady. May she rest in peace.

I worked with Micki and am so sorry for your loss. She was a great woman.
Micki and I adopted retriever/lab puppies from the same litter and kept in touch even after those wonderful dogs were gone. I like to think that Emily welcomed Micki with a wagging tail and love licks.
