MCKAY, Michelle A.

Michelle A. McKay, aged 64, passed away on December 22, 2023. She was born on June 6, 1959, to John 'Jack' Chleborad and Shirley Mae Gastine in Sioux City, Iowa. Michelle was a beloved wife and mother to her husband and daughter, as well as many "adopted" family members. She was known for her kind and generous personality and her dedication to family, friends, and every stray animal she could find. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her husband, David McKay; her daughter, Heather McKay; as well as her family.

A Memorial Service will be held at Roswell Funeral Home in Roswell, GA, on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at 1 PM to celebrate Michelle's life and honor her contributions to everyone she knew and loved. A service in Colorado will follow in the springtime.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the charities she held so dear: GoodMews in Atlanta, Georgia, Laela's Hope Cat Rescue in Beckley, West Virginia, or a local pet rescue in memory of Michelle.

David and Heather, all my love and sympathy to you both. Michelle and I were parking lot buddies and confidants through high school. FB friends later till now. She was one of the nicest, truest, caring people I have ever known. Not to mention, a blast to be around. She will be deeply missed by all that have ever met her. Rest well, Michelle, love and hugs my friend.
