Michele Sinnock Obituary

TONOPAH, Ariz. - Michele Yvonne Sinnock, 50, of Tonopah passed away Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, after a courageous but short battle with cancer.

She was born July 20, 1957, in Champaign.

Michele is survived by her husband, Donald; mother, Bettylue (Hugh) Kelley; brother, Darrell Shandrow; daughter, Wendy Sinnock; sons, Frank and Donald Sarnecki; and four grandchildren.

Michele lived for her family and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. She loved to travel with her daughter and especially loved the wharves in San Diego. She was a successful small-business owner for many years, due mainly to her Midwest sensibilities. Michele and her quirky sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

The family has requested that in lieu of flower, donations be made in her name to Hospice of the Valley by calling (602) 530-6992 or online at www.hospiceofthevalley.org.

Private services were held.

Menke Funeral Home handled the arrangements.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
